Have you visited The Button Box in Sunderland, MA, along the Connecticut river? Their concertina room has quite a selection.

It was amusing, but - mostly - only when you meant it to be!

Is a CD required? An mp3 album would still need releases, etc, but the costs of CD creation could be avoided.

I too have had tinnitus for a long time, but so far is not debilitating. Visit https://www.tinnitustalk.com/ There are many, varied discussions there that may help you.

Are you certain the button is not inside?

I 'd expect any monospaced font would work.

While scanning the wiki Jody mentioned, I saw a link to the American Folklore Society. On the AFS Home page I noticed a piece of folk sport - duckpin bowling. A little off topic, I suppose, but interesting to me, anyway.

I just downloaded the collection and #1 played as expected, on a Windows Surface tablet.

I searched for concertina on eBay in the Musical Instruments and Gear category. the listing above was on the last page (page 8).

I have used, sparingly, I'm afraid, a program called Functional Ear Trainer. There are other Solfege progs around too. My HS Chemistry teacher used to say Hear it, Write it, Say it, Remember it.

I'd be happy to give it a try on my Surface Pro 3. You may contact me at sriverpkwy AT yahoo....

If only I had $1100. You wouldn't even have to ship it.

That's a nice looking instrument. The piercings look like fossils.

Can you move the button so that the 'peg' fits correctly? Does it stay?

Very nice, congrats.

Someone in Bonanza's production company liked concertinas. In "First Love", a young woman plays. Not visible in this screen grab, the sides are pierced with round holes.

I still have nightmares.

Just worked for me - and makes a nice Windows wallpaper too!

That is the number I see as well.

Congrats, Gary! I really like the rope font. I'm from Arizona, I see this font regularly.

Another player I like and available at portableapps.com is Media Player Classic. MPC has been around since 2006. Almost as long as vlc.

You don't need to install VLC or Pot Player. Both can be found at www.portableapps.com. Don't like either? Delete the folder you "install" (really it's just an extraction) to.

That looks like a Stagi. I see them on eBay from time to time. Labeled La Concertina.

Thank you, Michael, for this and the other concertina apps you've made. When I had an iPad I had l three concertina apps, and used them.

Any chance for a Windows version?
