A movie I watched many years ago, but remember enjoying very much. I hadn't thought too much about the soundtrack, but that song is bringing back memories. Reminds me of Yann Tiersen and the Amelie soundtrack. It's in the key of B♭, I wonder if it's also doable on a C/G Anglo... I would also really like to hear your arrangement

I main Random. Some men just want to watch the world burn. Nah, I play R.O.B. with a smidgen of King Dedede. The way papa Sakurai intended.

After a year and a half of back and forth (the first video evidence I have of my attempting this song was back in November 2021) I have finally managed to finish my arrangement of the theme song to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! The key jumps around a fair bit, but the most challenging parts were in the key of A♭. Overall, very proud of this one. Very rewarding personally. Sheet music is included in post, and available here: https://musescore.com/user/37659330/scores/10749085 Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate_Main_Theme_Lifelight.pdf

Here is the original song as well, for those interested but unsure of how the original sounds:

Managed to get a semi-decent recording of Return of the Obra Dinn. I had to do a few changes from the original song, due to concertina limitations: * I opted for a lower Bb at the end of bar 27, as the higher octave Bb that is required does not exist on a 30 button Anglo Concertina. It sounds fine with the lower Bb here. * I edited the end of bar 48 as it requires a high Ab that we do not have. The lower Ab didn't sound right so this a bigger change to the original, but sounds ok. As always, sheet music attached, and big shout-out to the Gary Coover for his tablature system.

Another Sea of Thieves cover, this time Who Shall Not Be Returning. Managed to keep it in the original key of Cm, however you have to use that air button whenever you can. The sheet music is available here: https://musescore.com/user/37659330/scores/10165525 Who_Shall_Not_Be_Returning.pdf

My rendition of Windfall Island from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Sheet music is attached, and is otherwise available here: https://musescore.com/user/37659330/scores/8199569 Windfall_Island_Theme__Koji_Kondo_Anglo_Concertina.pdf

Another videogame arrangement, this time Stardew Valley. Was recommended this song by someone at my work. I had played through Stardew Valley years ago, but never gave the soundtrack much thought. This song works particularly well on the C/G Anglo though, even with all those sharps!

As an extra to that, this video has the most views out of all the videos I've uploaded; almost 6k now. I have done nothing to promote it other than posting it here, so I think people are just actively looking. It's definitely a popular song from the game. My rendition of Summon the Megalodon is my second highest viewed, at 1.3k. People like Robin Beanland's songs.

Here is a link to Hugh Laurie's arrangement, that I based mine off of:

Good morning, Today I'd like to share an arrangement I made of Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors by Leslie Sarony (1928). The song is a comedy song, featuring lyrics like "An old maid down in Devon, said my idea of heaven, is forty-seven ginger-headed sailors". Was introduced to it by my brother who heard it played in Jeeves and Wooster, and British comedy series from 1990 based on the Jeeves book series, and featuring High Laurie and Stephen Fry. Thought it sounded great, and I wanted to get a rendition going on the ol' squeezebox. Like always, I'll attach a copy of the music I arranged, and here is a link to the Musescore page if you prefer that: https://musescore.com/user/37659330/scores/8966315 Have a good day, Martin Forty-Seven_Ginger-Headed_Sailors.pdf

@Theo Doesn't get more precise than that XD thanks, dude

Thanks @Stephen Chambers. Never seen an Anglo with more than 40 buttons. I may have more trouble than I thought with my arrangement XD I'll get it working somehow, luckily he's transposed the song from Bb to C, which really helps

Hello everyone. I have a question regarding a concertina, and whether it is an anglo or hayden duet. I wanted to play The Palm Leaf Rag after I saw Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne playing for World Concertina Day on Youtube. Blown away by his playing and arrangement, I have recently attempted to transpose his playing to sheet music that I can use. I have linked the video at the bottom of this post, the song starts at 24:28. As I was looking at his fingers and bellows directions, and attempting to play the same notes as him, I noticed he has more than 30 buttons. Not a problem, I thought; I've done this dance before, I'll do my best to work around my own concertina's limitations where I can, and get it sounding very similar. As I progressed, I noticed that I was finding it difficult to get a similar sound to him, or anything that was comfortable to play. To check it was definitely an Anglo he's playing, I looked up his website (https://cohenbk.com/), and sure enough, it says he is a "masterful player of the Anglo concertina and melodeon." I decided to look more into the concertina he is using, and found this image (attached below). It looks to be the same concertina he uses in the video. I looked closer at the buttons to determine how many he had, and I think I counted 24 on the one visible side! I cannot see the other side, but unless it's got 16 or less, either he's running a 41+ button anglo concertina, or he's got something like a hayden duet or similar. EDIT: Forgot to say the dot in blue is where I'm not sure if it's a button or not. I think it is though. I don't know enough about concertinas at this stage to determine. Does anyone else know? Hayden Duet, or Big Ol' Anglo, or something else entirely? Martin

@John WildYes, that is correct. Windows video editor sadly doesn't have such professional, high-end tools as "flip video horizontally" XD
