Thanks Randy that is nice and clear, how do I find out more like this . Ron

Thank you I do like the way it looks this will give me plenty to work on for Christmas with family and friends . Thanks again for all your hard work Ron

Thanks John and Peter I will certainly take your tips for the talk it's great fun trying to find out about the many free reed instruments . Ron

Good morning all I have never given a talk before but have said I will talk on free reed instruments to my supper club about 30 members. I shall start with the Jaw harp then move on to harmonica concertina melodeon and melodica I have all these instruments so can display them on a table. Any advise please the talk will be in the new year so time to get it sorted. Thanks Ron

Hi Gorwel yes I brought Feather 2 it was a bit of an effort to fit them so I made some stiff leather straps and fitted them to the screw that holds the thumb strap then attached the mic with the clips it worked but not really well I don't use the mic's any more . good luck with your's Ron

Yes I'm all booked up for the English concertina day looking forward to it I used to go to Melodeons and more and that was great fun meeting like minded people . Ron

Brilliant what are they called never seen one Ron

Thank you that was very moving lovely playing by both Ron

Thanks my kind of music Ron

Thank you all for your advice Ron

Good news took my concertina to Martyn White Essex www.melodeonrepairs.co.uk who had to replace the missing post under the thumb strap drilled it and replaced the long screw ,it plays so much better now I can highly recommend Martyn for repairs. Ron

Thanks for posting I love the sound of Tango on the concertina and great playing Ron

Thank's I have got someone to look at it not a job to do myself

The strap on my concertina keeps working loose looks like the middle screw has sheared off at the bottom and cant be tightened just held on by the other two screws . Ron

Just about to book the EC workshop looks a great day looking forward to it . Ron

I also use ForScore plus Turbo scan on my 12.9 Ipad pro excellent to use it's a bit pricey but for me well worth it 4 in our band use ipad's Ron

I use Gorilla Tip's from Amazon if I have tender fingers but not all the time. Ron

Thanks for the Tango I have been working from the Django Fake Book that someone recommended Ron

Very nice playing Ron

I would also recommend starting with The Concertina Diaries great book starts easy and plenty of tunes to get you started. Ron

Thanks for posting the concertina goes well Ron

Thanks Mike It's not easy to find the right pickup this one looked good . Ron

I am thinking of getting the Myers Feather 2 pickup for my concertina and melodeon any one got a Myers ? Ron

Very clever I like it but seems a bit complicated for me to have ago Ron

Great just my kind of music the instruments go well together thanks for posting Ron
