Guitarists on the forums have no hesitation in trying to describe sounds of not only individual guitars, but categories of guitars based on the woods used, applying ambiguous terms such as "warm", "woody", etc. So i am pretty much, though not entirely, in agreement with your sentiment. Thanks for making the effort though. I have a bit better understanding. I think i'll search out some online recordings to compare, keeping your description in mind. And thanks for the welcome and good wishes. I'm looking forward to starting on this new adventure.

Hi guys. This is my first post. Though i still haven't gotten a concertina yet, i have decided to go the Hayden/Wicki route, and have ordered an Elise to see if this old guy is up for learning another instrument. (I'm a mediocre guitar and Scottish smallpipes player.) In reading a number of posts on the forum i've seen reference to concertina reeds vs. accordion reeds (hydrid system?). Can you give me an idea about the difference in sound between the two? Thanks. (Curious. I just discovered that my avatar from the Acoustic Guitar Forum was automatically moved over to here.)
