I hope that this is not a show of bad forum manners but i have been reading this forum for more than a few months now and never registered. I am a little obsessed with the idea of playing the concertina but right now I am still trying to figure out a way to scrape the money together to get started. I have also had a hard time finding any kind of instruction. None of the music shops in my immediate area have been much help and I work a shift rotation that keeps me out of the daylight most of the year. I also live in the Phoenix area and I don't know why I didn't look to the Irish Music Society. This is the first time that I have seen anything directly related to the Phoenix area and I just about fell out of my chair. Anyway I am sorry about taking the thread off topic but, Bob, I would love to hear how things are working out for you, and to everyone else, thank you for all your advice.--brian (ihopspike@yahoo.com)
