  1. I'm looking at the impressive concert by Thoumire & Milligan:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-umcFGkMkC4

     

    There's a triple of songs starting at 7:48 in the concert:
    "The bonny lass of Fisherrow", "Love in a Village" and "The Ballachulish walkabout".

     

    I'm not really finding much information about the "Love in a Village" except

    for an opera:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_in_a_Village

    Is that piece from that opera? Anyone have any more information?

    Thanks in advance,

  2. I'm playing Scottish Urbaine and some other Scottishes in a folk band.

    The accents should be on 2 and 4 in that genre and I have a hard time

    achieving that on the concertina at that speed.
    Is it feasible to achieve on the english that the same way melodeon players can?

    Does anybody have a link or reference to a concertina player that does that?

  3. Something that I always wondered about the Mccann's. Why is the layout not symmetrical

    going up a column e.g. on the right hand side, column 3 you have A,E,A,E and then suddenly B,E,B...

    What is the rational of changing the layout?

    Best Wishes,

  4. I usually play along with a real recording using Transcribe. That will allow me to slow

    down the tempo if it's too fast and drop or raise the pitch. It's great for transcribing but

    for practicing too. I can't see the benefit of playing along with ABC, Midi or any of those

    formats when better tools are available.

  5. Hi Sean,

    Layout is standard 30 key Jeffries. I prefer setting up a google+ chat to show you the instrument

    and let you hear it. That's mainly cause I know where my webcam is, I have no idea where

    my camera is, nor the usb thingy that let's me attach it to the computer and I'm on Linux and

    I alway have to figure out how gcamera works....

    Regards,

  6. I'm selling my Edgley professional model, located in Belgium. Asking for 1750 euro.

    * Professional model with angled reedpan

    * Traditional design

    * C/G

    * Custom-fitted case

    Serial number 378, am the first owner.

     

    It's in perfect condition, but I'm playing my Kensington mostly and am close to getting a

    Suttner.
