  1. Sounds like your straps may be too tight, try loosening them a notch or two. Mine are adjusted so that there is 1/2" clear space between my palm and the handrest. Looser straps will help you reach all the buttons easily - especially if you have smaller hands. It's pretty common for those new to the instrument to dog the straps down fairly snug to anchor the hands in place.

  2. Jim, we just won't agree on the matter so why not just stop arguing?

     

    If you're going to ask Jim to stop arguing then it's only fair to ask you to stop evangelizing. I think we all know your views on the Hayden system by now, no need to keep trying to sell us on them or ramming them down our throats.

  3. One final question, if I may, and then I think I will be able to rest easy. On the basis that I've been playing a D/G melodeon, albeit with a third full row of accidentals, am I right in thinking that it would be far more intuitive to play a G/D concertina than a C/G or am I missing something?

     

    In my experience, yes.
