ceemonster Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) there is a 72button metal-ended maccann aeola on ebay at the moment... strike that--there WAS one as of a couple of days ago, but it doesn't seem to be there now...

Wolf Molkentin Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yes, very nice indeed, with three English Concertinas added if I'm not mistaken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) It looks like more than 39 or 46 - see 28 secs in.You should write here and ask: http://forums.spiersandboden.com/index.phpIn the meantime, about 20% of the songs on a 'folk song a day' are Jon accompanying himself on his Maccann. I keep meaning to create a list of links to these songs. He also accompanies himself on fiddle on many tunes and uses a similar held chord style of accompaniment which I like a lot - a bit like a harmonium.http://www.afolksongaday.comSpiers and Boden are a good listen too.Don.

Chris Drinkwater Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Nice Video! Yep, John Boden on Maccann duet; Sam Sweeney, Robert Harbron and Paul Sartin, all three on English concertinas. Rob Harbron is the only regular player of the English concertina out of the three of them, as far as I know. I shall be seeing Paul Sartin on Sunday, as one half of Belshazzar's Feast, so I will ask him about it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That´s an awesome Duet Concertina. A little too much sugar for my blood at that price tag. I decided I want to try Duet but I will focus my search on a 46 buttons MacCann.

d.elliott Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 To answer your original question: In 2009 I did work on two Duets for Jon, both were Lachenal, a 46k Rosewood ended, and a 64k Metal ended Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceemonster Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 there are a number of maccanns in various configs on these two english/duet pages in the "secondhand instruments" listings at Hobgoblin music store in the UK: http://www.hobgoblin.com/local/secondhand-musical-instruments/#Filter=480&SecondhandPage=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hounds of Love - what a great song. I think if I were doing it I might use "bellows strumming" to imitate the rhythm of the 'cello on the original, but that's certainly not a complaint...
