I used to watch this show as a kid

and never knew the instrument 'Jim' played..now I do

anyway my question is is that a real concertina or is it some toy? And if its real what type is it. (I'm curious)

Yep, that looks like one of the old red (single-reeded) Scholers that they used to make in East Germany.


No comment!

lol! It the theme tune possible to play on the concertina.

Why not? There is a MIDI version here: http://www.alpha-programming.co.uk/audio/midi/

It's under television themes. It's in D, and has a fairly simple melody line. Right click, and save as will put it on your computer. I use this MIDI player to display the file in music notation http://www.notation.com/DownloadNotationPlayer.htm

Thanks

the notation player is a pc thing...I ..erm...have a mac.

Hi LDT

Oh no! One of THOSE!

Sorry I don't speak the language, however I understand "Garage Band" does the same thing, and it's supposed to be on your computer already.

A recent convert....I use macs at work...and only recently changed from pc to mac at home after becoming tired of it crashing every 5 minutes.....macs are so much less hassle.


thanks...now I just have to work out what button makes what note. lol!
