What're you working on this week on concertina?
linrose replied to Geoff W.'s topic in General Concertina Discussion
Learning some old Jazz tunes. They sound so good on the EC. -
I have recently acquired a Wheatstone and need to sell my Albion. This is a 37-key English concertina made by Morse (# 498). It's in the treble range, has the Rosewood finish, and comes with a nice fitted hard case. This little Albion is in excellent condition, it is fast and responsive with a lovely tone. A sweet little melody maker. Asking $1600 Thanks

I read that news article about ebooks and if folks are reading E-books on laptops and tables I'm not surprized, it's like staring into headlights while reading. I read my books on a kindle and it's pure joy. Printed works are the best but I've got hundreds of books, sheet music and manuals on the kindle - it would weight a quarter ton. Linrose BTW - Is your tutor still in print?

Enjoyed it! Thanks!

Concertina Accordion Piano Concertina Something Close?
linrose replied to darticus's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Wow! without the use of your thumb that looks really tough to play. -
Just guessing but perhaps those are novelty buttons (keys for special sounds: whistles, birdcalls, baby cries, etc.). For those Spike Jones moments during a song when you simply must have a 'Car Horn' (or something funny) to complete the performance.

Maybe you should verify the notes with an electronic tuner (maybe you have already) but if the notes DONT match the photo you attached, then you definitely have a problem. Then as RWL said you'll have to perform some surgery...it doesn't sound like something done on purpose. Good luck

"I have become obsessed with the door knockers of England. " HA! I thought you were going to launch into a rant about canvassers, sales people and religious groups waking you up on a Saturday morning. Now it sounds as though you are in dire need of a support group for unhealthy obsessions. The funnest post I've read on this forum.

Whenever I feel like I've flattened, lost control or frustrated at stupid mistakes I run through the scales and a few exercises using a metronome. Increasing the speed when I'm able to do it perfectly 4-5 times in a row. Gradually pushing the speed as much as I can. That 'rushed & uncertain feeling' is diminished when I go back to regular playing and any feelings of improvement help keep me motivated during those low periods.

Rodger French Trio - That was excellent.

Another "interested In Learning The Concertina" Thread
linrose replied to Crackerboo's topic in General Concertina Discussion
I started out with a Jackie (last year), it's a great starter concertina. You won't miss those those extra keys for a while and getting just 30 keys under your control will take some time and effort. By the time you feel ready for an upgrade you'll have a better idea of the sound and feel that makes you want to keep playing. -
Green Dye In Victorian Concertina Bellows
linrose replied to SteveS's topic in General Concertina Discussion
If you start growing huge man-boobs I'll never touch a green concertina again. -
Well don't leave us hanging, what was it?
