Resurrecting this old thread, as I've recently had a go at recording my Rainbow jigs, as posted in abc above. They're intended as a sort of illustrative set of tunes, of the way modes can typically sound. But other people have of course interpreted them in countless different ways, so just a specific contribution to the debate...

Hello all, I've been a member here for a while, but this is a first-time post. I'm relatively new (compared to other instruments) to the concertina world. I'm a long-standing melodeon and accordion player, and thought the transition to Anglo would be straightforward. It really wasn't! Oddly too similar, and too many crossed wires in my head. So, after a couple of failed attempts, I've since moved to English concertina, with much more success, I hope. By way of introduction, here's a tune I wrote to accompany myself on accordion, with the lead on concertina. It's a tenor-treble Wakker, and very nice too....

Bob, and others. Thanks for posting so quickly. I thought this might be the case, hence me tracking down this site and posting here. I've reported it to ebay. You might want to do the same too, as it does none of us any favours if people try things on like this. Best wishes James

Hello Bob, I bid for the Dipper on ebay, didn't win, but have since received a "second chance" message. Bit anxious this might be a scam. Can you confirm (here or via ebay) what's happening?
