  1. Pretty much what I'm doing. I don't see the point in not using the duplicated notes, now come to my mind the high A & B in the C row - extensive use of the right hand little finger - or the D on the press in the G row (2nd button)... After all, you pay for all the keys! And I think I guess who's the pro you talk about... Perhaps the one with the 'secret method'?
  2. Hi everybody, It's been a long inactivity time. So I decided to record a new video & post it on YT. Still trying to get the ornaments and the rythm right, and to play slower - I supose hormones are in remission -. But can't get rid totally of the camera panic. As usual, C & C welcome. Cheers, Fer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlEG7UrqtnM
  3. I agree. So, here are my two cents: http:\\AbcNavigator.free.fr To me, the far best program to handle ABC's; and it's totally free!
  4. Thank you very much for the advice. Efectively, I opened at maximum the bellows with the air button depressed, then released it and let the bellows totally opened during several seconds. Then, pressing again the air and close totally. Repeated several times, heared some interesting cracks in the folds - glue, I supose! - and now the bellows is much more loose and I can concentrate more on the notes I play than in the "@#$%&!! effort to pull / push the bellows. Well, first of, I supose, many problems I´ll have with this little noisy box fixed. Thanks again, indeed! All the best
  5. Hi. I'm a newbie & Rochelle user; please would like to make a question to another Rochelle users: It's me, or the bellows is a little hard to push / pull? Regards
  6. Thank you very much for all your kind answers and encoraugement. Woody, you're right Despite the fact that i've been playing for years with irish musicians - very few - in Madrid, my girlfriend is english - mancunian - and english languaje teacher, too. I sometimes mess my brain thinking in spanish and speaking in english & vice versa; she laughs a lot with my mistakes, sure my written english is better than the spoken one... Changing subject, concertina is indeed a very rare instrument in irish sessions in Spain. You can find lots uf flutes, whistles, bouzoukis & uilleann pipes , but very few free reed instruments. So, between button accordion and concertina, finally I decided to choose the last one because I like very much its sweet tone. I hope learn a lot from all you more experienced players. Best regards.
  7. First of all, thank you very much to everybody at this forum. I've been lurking for a while before registering and finally purchased a Rochelle instead a honner, and I've to say that i'm very happy with this. I've been playing irish music on fiddle since 12 years ago, and always wanted to put my hands on a concertina; but they were too expensive or too bad. Now i'm trying to learn my 2nd instrument after fiddle, and only can say that i'm feel really excited! Begining with an 'easy' tune that first learned on the fiddle: Súile Shuibhne, by Niall Vallely. Indeed, is a little tricky with all those semitones, but enough slow so I could understand were the notes are... and is a very beatiful tune! Btw, please feel free to correct my grammar / spelling... I'm not a native english speaker - from Madrid, Spain -. All the best
