But it is only one. Typical for Rob Harbrons arrrangements on the concertina. For example:

But this is not the definition Wim Wakker uses for his "Soprano". From https://www.concertinaconnection.com/wakker english.htm : Model W-E4 The W-E4 is a 42 key soprano model, measuring only 14 cm/5.59" across. The layout is identical to a tenor english (minus the top 6 notes), but sounding one octave higher.The sound is bright. Standard configuration W-E4: .... - 42 key soprano, from middle C to C. .... But OP's question was not in the first place about the Soprano definition. His concrete question was: Are the "on the line" notes on the left hand side? A (extended) treble has the 'on-the-line' notes on the left. A tenor has the 'on-the-line' notes on the right. So a tenor sounding a octave higher has the 'on-the-line' notes on the left, just like a treble. Am I right?

In that thread of May 2007 "the different types of English" which Genepinefield refers to Geoffrey Crabb said: "..... Just to confuse things a bit more, the 56 Treble, when it appeared, was originally referred to as 'Soprano' to distiguish it from the 48 Treble. ......"

In what price range are these plugs?

One 'a' too much. Should be: http://www.thefolkmusicacademy.com/robharbron

For some people knowledge is not based on theory, but mostly on experience. For people whose knowledge is based on theory it can be hard to believe there isn't a hidden theory. But that's just my experience....

There is no instrument for sale. OP said he wants to buy a Kensington C/G.

This might partly be caused by your own development: after these 2 month your body, your fingers got somewhat used to playing concertina, and so became more relaxed, less convulsive.

Alan, I'm a bit worried though about what looks like a bodrhán so close to your left ear.....

Found it on google maps: In front of The Cage Wine Bar https://maps.app.goo.gl/SokjHRNyQT3nwX8X7

And now you have a serial number. Is it 52783?

Do you mean a sheng? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheng_(instrument)

What knows Blackie from Upstate NY about this duet, offered for sale by Ampico from Lancashire. Both being longtime C.net-ters...

I'm not a FB member. The link works in my browser Brave for Android (based upon Chrome), but not in Firefox for Android.

This is not an Anglo. It's a 32 button English concertina.

I looked it up myself. Aluminium is about 2½ times heavier than ebony. That considerable....

I like that tough and sturdy look, thick as wooden ends and not so shiny. Is aluminium much heavier than rosewood or ebony?

I read C.net on my telephone. No noticeable change in loading speed this last few days. OS: Android 11 Browser: Brave 1.48.164

2 Days late, but whatever..... Another tune by Alan Day: Bonjour Mazurka Waltz. I learned it in 2009 from C.net. Alan did an update in 2017.

This is a Chemnitzer concertina. Theodore Kloba used to post on C.net, but he hasn't been seen here since 2019....

HALLO! I not a performer and play mostly to myself, for my own pleasure. My instrument is an English extended treble Wheatstone Aeola (nr. 30848, from 1926) I became a member on C.net in december 2005, when I was waiting for my first concertina to arrive from Chris Algar. I've seen them come and go (Ratface, Boney, Peter Dunk, Peter Trimming, M3838, Dick Miles, Geoffrey Crabb, and all the others) and enjoyed (and borrowed) their tunes and conversations about music and concertinas. Sometimes I joined in with the conversations, but I never have shown any of my own music. I felt invited by Alan's request. So I joined in on the Tunes/Songs forum and learned, recorded and uploaded my rendition of the Croissants and Coffee Waltz. I hadn't recorded myself for a long time. But here is another recording of mine, from 2011: a Swedish tune "Mormors Speldosa" by Göthe Wahlén. https://on.soundcloud.com/Hp6Ca

Here's my rendition of Alan's tune. Happy WCD!
