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

Good afternoon everyone, I started this arrangement last Friday after arriving home lightly drunk from a work outing, I managed to get the main meoldy sorted by Wednesday, and I have simply been practicing to get a perfect session of it recorded since then XD This afternoon, I am happy to say I got a pretty good rendition recorded, and would like to share it with you, along with the music I arranged. Hope you enjoy. Martin Summon_the_Megalodon-Robin_Beanland.pdf

That amount of coordination that must have taken. Bravo 👏

@Clive Thorne You're right, I think it's technically treason now 😬 I may have to change the thread's title 😄 @gtotani Thank you so much for playing and sharing, and what stellar paying it is! It does make me happy to see others play my arrangements

Hello @gtotani, Thank you for spotting that, I have fixed it on Musescore and replaced my original file with the fixed one 👍 I think I posted in another thread, but this is my attempt at playing it 2 months ago:

Found this on Musescore this morning. https://musescore.com/user/39210705/scores/7927571 @cbuja Looks like exactly what you're after

It's not too difficult luckily. It gets a bit hairy when it hits bar 39, with the rising tension and lots of sharps suddenly start popping up. The only bar that I could not do was bar 44, which wanted an A# harmony with the C#s. I just substituted with C#s on the harmony instead, sounds fine. I noticed in your Gilligan's Island video that you have a couple of Benchys behind on a side table. You also an avid 3D printer?

My arrangement of Brumm's Accordion from Hollow Knight. Pretty happy with how it turned out. @Jeremy S As your YouTube profile pic is of Brumm, you might appreciate this one Sheet music can be found here: https://musescore.com/user/37659330/scores/8528534 Brumm's_Accordion.pdf

Amazing rendition, and really impressive getting all those key changes working

It's also a very similar sounding song to Five Weeks in a Balloon, which I believe has been discussed on this forum before.

In my original post I have linked to the thread where the discussion of sheet music was happening. I have shared my arrangement there also

Nope, just a filthy pleb that likes their watch on the right hand. Use a fork with my right hand too, but right-handed all the same

Didn't notice that before XD Yes, it's a quirk of the way I recorded the video. Martin

Still a bit sloppy, but the best recording I managed to get after about 2 weeks of trying. Starts to deteriorate close to the end, when the nerves kick in (I realise I haven't made too many mistakes. The mistake was then focusing on that fact XD). Original song is in the key of Cm, I am playing in Am. I shared the sheet music in another post in the Tunes/Songs forum, incase anyone is interested: https://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?/topic/24859-looking-for-tab-bosun-bill-sea-of-thieves-anglo/ Martin

You're absolutely right about copyright protection, but I have never had any trouble uploading music to Musescore. As long as you link the music to its owner, so that if they want to remove it they can with the press of a button, I've never had any issues. Here's a version of the song on Musescore that's been up for 5 years: https://musescore.com/user/16006641/scores/4197961 I'm not saying you're wrong, cause I know you're very much correct. However it seems that some songs either slip by copyrights, or the copyright owners don't care. Or Musescore is hidden pirate island for sheet music, yarr!
