    George Jones or Crabb?

    in Concertina History

    Posted

    Just an observation... I have two George Jones concertinas and a couple of Lachenals and have just discovered, (from Andrew Norman) that George Jones "accidental/incidental" (outer) rows had/have a slightly different layout to the standard Lachenal or Jeffries layout ie: Left hand: Jones (and early Lachenals) used E push/G# pull on the lowest button, later everyone went to E/F as the lowest button

    Right Hand: Jones used D#/C#push for 1A, G/G#push, Bb/c# push, the f/a (like the highest Lachenal button) then a high d#/and very high c on the push (Credit to Andrew Norman for this info as he is currently restoring my third George Jones (although keep an eye out as I will be selling  at least one of them shortly to pay for the current restoration :) )

    So a reflection on the button pattern might shed some light on whether it is a Jones?

    Advice for thickness of leather for bellows

    in Instrument Construction & Repair

    Posted

    I recently bought a few trial pieces from here......

    Thank you for your enquiry. We manufacture the leather bindings mentioned but in a softee hide leather not goatskin.

    If you would like to let me know the sizes required I can advise the cost. We either split thin at .2mm across the whole width or centre split to .6/.7mm with both edges bevelled.

    Please send your address and I can send samples.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Kind Regards

    L'aguilette

    in Concertina Videos & Music

    Posted

    I recently purchased Jason O'Rourke's excellent CD " The Northern Concertina". I am completely blown away by the Mazurka "L'Aguilette". Does anyone have the music or ABC they can share..... It would make this "old man" very happy! :)

     

    In praise of a good hard case

    This is exactly what happened to a friend of mine on his way to a concertina gathering, only that he didn‘t use a hard case but was carrying his 30b CG Linota (some say, it‘s an even better instrument) in a rucksack on which he then fell.

     

    He was just so fortunate that only the bellows was destroyed. He had a good (he says: even better) replacement made, but the gathering was spoiled for him.

     

    With this accident (and @Jim Bessers plumbing nightmares) in mind I ordered and fitted Pelican cases for my dear Wheatstone team.

     

    Best wishes - ?

    Hi Wolf what size/model of Pelican Case did you order??

    I used to own a PA company. The Shure 57 is a "go to" general purpose mic for acoustic instruments usually in conjunction with a DI on the instrument for live PA reinforcement. If you are recording it might be better to consider a condenser mic designed specifically for recording/studio as these have become more affordable of late. :) https://www.musicmatter.co.uk/news/best-studio-microphones-under-150
