Is the MOP inlay custom?
These inlays are not MOP, but metal. Lachenal had these in what were their best Englishes before the introduction of the "New Model": The Inimitable (rosewood), the Excelsior (ebony) and the Nonpareille (amboyna, with gilt buttons). They also had the golden tooling in the bellows and the fancy papers.
Christian's is a Inimitable. Here are pictures of a Nonpareille (#35480, c.1896) and a Excelsior (#42054, c.1906) with more elaborate fretwork.
BTW: I've seen the same inlays on Wheatstones as well.

So, one spammer who was quickly removed has made it difficult for ordinary members to communicate? Isn't that a little overkill? Can a moderator reply to this? Did lots of members ask for this restriction? I only saw one enquiry as to whether it could be set up?All about the issues discussed here I guessLots of ordinary members here are grateful for all the efforts of our moderators to make this forum possible, and think they're doing a great job. Please ask politely.

On this forum, YouTube clips of English concertina are often critiqued as lacking "expression" ......
<SNIP>
...... It would seem obvious to me that EC players, with only the top joints of their thumbs and pinkies (and sometimes only the thumbs) in contact with the instrument, would not be able to do this to the same extent without injury to themselves.
Are EC players capable of exerting enough pressure to shift the pitch of a reed?
Like it or not, but lot of expression. And it doesn't seem to need that much power.....

Two details about you abc:
In the bar before the last, the "d" shouldn't be flat, I suppose? |"E7"(3EFE ^D>E e>=dc>B|
And Q:100 makes it very slow in the Tune-O-Tron converter.
Thanks for sharing a great tune!

Thanks Graham.............. I see it's on the The Recorded Tunes Link Page but still can't navigate my way there from the home page .

I always look for a post by Henk van Aalten, the "father" of The Recorded Tunes Link Page . The link is in his signature at the bottom of that post....

Netherlands
Het concertina-dilemma
Any Dutch speakers care to describe what's going on in this video?
He wanted a "longer" bellows for clownesque visual effect. The bellows of his first concertina had one frame in the middle. When he saw on the internet almost the same concertina with two frames he bought it expecting it to be 50% longer. But it appeared to be even shorter than his first concertina. Frustration and indignation.... His last words: It's a shame!

A handsome instrument is, of course, a bonus but it is how it sounds and how well it is played that is all that really matters....is it not !
I think it's more than a bonus:
The more you can recognize the love, the craftmanship, the dedication, the art of the maker in your instrument, the more it helps you to bring those qualities into your music. And I think the looks play an important role in that process.

Alternatively, you could use a file sending service where you upload the file and a link gets emailed to the person you want to receive it. The link in their email takes them to a web page where they download the file through their browser. This gets around email attachment file size restrictions as only the link gets mailed to the person, not the file.
http://www.yousendit.com/ is a well known and trusted service. You can use it to send 100Mb files without payment (or larger files with their free trial), so if you can split the files that might do. I get sent a lot of work stuff this way and it has been very reliable.
http://www.sendspace.com/ lets you send files up to 300Mb for free and without registering. I haven't used it much but when I have it worked OK.

TransferBigFfiles.com works fine and goes up to 1 Gb.

Al doesn't 'do' links but I do:, good tune!
Do you do workshops on links?

could it be neil wayne.This photo is of a chap in his 20s, perhaps, with black wavy heair and beard. It was taken at Wayzgoose ceilidh club in south London, 22.6.73. Any ideas?No, it doesn't look remotely like him. Anyway, he plays Anglo.
I wonder if this is a younger version of Stephen Chambers.I don't!
You don't wonder. Because it isn't or it is?

I think the piano keyboard feels logical because we read from left to right and imagine scales in the first place from low to high.

The pics can be viewed on Flikr
Search under People and Aeola Pics and you should be able to view.
This is the link:

I would be interested to receive any comments.
Mr L.
I too love the pictures your Tenor Treble EC. I am still looking for a tenor as I now have a treble. Let me know if its still available.
To prevent further confusion: Mr L.'s Æola on flickr is a Treble. Ptarmigan's compliments were for Tallship's Tenor-Treble.

But much more intriguing is what I saw when I clicked
of the "Related videos"...Who is this man?!
Leo already spotted this video last week. (http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php...ost&p=89500)
This was the only answer to your question:
I think it's Peadar O'Riada, Sean O'Riada's son. -
The Adder's Waltz on 1.67 concertinas....
I only listened half the tune, but I didn't hear more than 1.17 concertinas....

The download count is interesting,I have wondered in the past how accurate this is.My first listen to see if I had posted the correct tune did not register as it sometimes does.....
I suppose it did register, but it didn't show. You were still watching the screen as it was before you downloaded the MP3. Go to another page and then come back (or refresh the current page) to see the most recent number of downloads.
Do members just look to see what I have written or have a listen at the same time.I can understand the viewing for later discussion and not listening, or I suppose it is possible for a part download to see if it is worth listening to all of it.Alan, to give you an impression:
Yesterday, when I viewed this topic, I downloaded the MP3 as well. I listened to your tune (and enjoyed it!) while viewing other topics. Today, viewing the topic again to see new reactions, I downloaded the music another time, in order to understand your explanation about the dancing. And then I downloaded once again, to check the download counter.
So 3 of the 37 downloads are mine.
And the amount of topic views at this moment: 132, of which 4 are mine....

Simon Thoumire and his partner playing a bodhran, were featured playing a tune on an edition of The Transatlantic Sessions shown on the BBC4 TV channel, this evening. And jolly good it was too, as was the rest of the programme, featuring Emily Lou Harris. It may be available on BBC's I-player. Haven't looked yet.

I suppose he's playing an upwards extended piccolo?

I had always thought my Jeffries Duet was a bit weighty - I've just checked....it's 2.25kgs!
It does get a bit heavy after a while whilst standing up when playing for morris.
I think my Æola Baritone Trumps your Duet wolsop. It weighs in at 2041g!
...................... Any Bass players out there?
Sorry Dick, Wolosp's Duet is 2.25kgs = 2250g

A mallet finger. I had the same about a year ago: Had some glue left on my middle finger, rubbed it in the palm of my left hand, and *snip*. Incredible, you can damage your own body that way in a split second!
I had it in a splint for no more than five weeks, to make sure, the joint wouldn't grow stiff. The finger never became really straight again, but I'm used to that now. And I'm glad it totally regained its flexibility.
The day it happened:
And a year after:
In those five weeks, I couldn't keep my hands of my concertina (english), so I used my ring finger instead of my middle finger for the third row as well. That helped me afterwards in alternative fingering.
FJB, I hope you'll recover as well as I did!

How is the spare set of reedpans stored when not in use? I'd be worried about them warping if not clamped flat as they are in the concertina.............

My recollection was that _you_ can change it, if you remember your login password (use My Controls near top of screen).
If it doesn't work let me know.

Hi Trish,
