Hi Daniel Almost on the bottom of the main forum page, on the blue bar, under "Overall top posters". Or the search at the top of the same page has a down arrow with a drop down menu item for members. Thanks Leo

Hi Zeteein It's a separate sign in, like this says: http://www.concertina.net/account_new.html No, you don't have to use it for the tune-o-tron to work, but you do if you want to save it to a tunebook. Thanks Leo

Hi Billcro Works good for me in the US. Nice programs. Thanks Leo

Hi Mike Yes, I saw them, and can assure you I thoroughly and meticulously looked through every one in anticipation, leaving no stone unturned, looking for a video I could use. I've been avoiding them, but if you insist, These should fit in well here too. Amaphisi-Ngabe Kwezenjani Makhalenkonxeni - Unezindaba Cool stuff yes __ An off topic diversion? Wasn't the vuvuzela used by Bach? Like others have said, I don't think it's the instrument, it's the musician. or these Thanks Leo

Hi Rosie_G In your first post, you asked about an "Anglo" concertina. The Jack/Jackie are NOT Anglos. A difference is that an Anglo has different notes on the push and pull. The English has the same note on the push and pull. They are different, so don't judge in haste. I live in the US, but, in the UK read this quote about the Rochelle from one of their dealers: http://www.themusicroom-online.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/3357 At one time, the cheap concertinas were the only low price instruments available. The Rochelle, Jack/Jackie, and the Elise have become available and have set the standard for recommended "beginner instruments". They really are a good value for the money. If your friend doesn't takes to liking a concertina, chances are that the resale of the Rochelle will be able to recover most of the purchase price. They hold their value pretty good. Not so with the Hohner and others. See this recent active ad: http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11630 If he takes to and likes a concertina, depending on where it's purchased, some of the makers allow full purchase price on an upgrade to a new custom instrument. If he had a Hohner or other, it might make a nice door stop. Sometimes purchase price isn't everything. Look a little longer term. Thanks Leo

Good question. Clicking on "members" only seems to get people who are currently looking at the forums. There is another way. On the bottom right of the main forum page is a button marked "Overall Top Poster" that will access it. Thanks Leo

I've found these: Gavin Davenport - Poor Old Horse - Live Sidmouth Folk Week 2010 Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings - Live Sidmouth Folk Week 2010 Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings - Stardust - Live Sidmouth Folk Week 2010 There are over 250 on that channel, of which I don't know any of the names of the musicians. There may be more. Thanks Leo

Hi Zeteein Have you considered a Jackie English concertina. or an Elise duet concertina? Might be better suited, depending on what you'd like to play. But to directly answer your question, Stagi does make Anglo concertinas in G/D sort of close to your price range. But they are special order like this page: http://www.buttonbox.com/other-concertinas.html Thanks Leo P.S. That site is in the US. What part of the world do you live? There might be something closer.

There is: http://www.buttonbox.com/other-services.html Thanks Leo

There's a channel on YouTube that shows up occasionally from the Czech Republic with videos of an English Concertina and Klezmer music. A warning though, there are over 90, and most of them are of him playing in concerts, and it's addicting to watch and listen. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=tnovotny1#g/u Thanks Leo

I give up. What is it? A new style concertina? From the description: Beautiful, flawless JET BLACK finish. Italian Tuned. C/G Key. Wheatstone Keyboard Layout Semi-Chromatic English Style Concertina 30 Buttons, 60 Reeds The finger plates are on backwards and possibly in the wrong place, and possibly the thumb straps too. Nothing lines up correctly. Do you suppose it can only pray Engrish moosic too, if it's prayable at all? Thanks Leo

Here are three more from the same event: The Kane Sisters & Edel Fox play reels Blackie O'Connell & Hugh Healy play jigs Caitlin & Bernadette NicGabhann & Antoin MacGabhann play reels All the videos have the same July 2009 date. I'm not sure if it's really last years event or if it's this years event. Thanks Leo

There is another movie from Columbia South America about a musician that wants to return the instrument (Accordeon/Melodeon??) to his teacher. It is a pretty good watch of some different music from the local Caribbean/Columbia area of the world. It's available online for viewing with a quick search.

I could have sworn there were better pictures available, and it haunted me enough to keep looking until I found this site: http://www.accordionmagic.com/congallery.html It's the one I remembered, but don't remember how I found it the first time.

Hi Robert That concertina has a 30 button layout and thumb straps similar to a Jack/Jackie and not a Rochelle. It's an "English" not an "Anglo" style concertina. At the bottom of the page are better pictures: http://www.jimlaabsmusic.com/images/uploads/accordions/excalibur/concertinas/excalibur-a30-inlay-3.jpg One of the differences is an Anglo plays different notes on the push/pull and an english plays the same note on the push/pull.
