I'd like to move in sort of an Irish-folky direction (if that is even applicable.) I listened to the man playing the concertina on youtube.com and I enjoyed what he played. I've also heard Yann Tiersen and I really enjoy how he uses the accordion (although it's not the concertina).

Hello everyone, My name is Daniel and I'm a 19 year-old writer from Dallas. I recently purchased a Hohner D40 Concertina and am excited to learn it. I just had a couple of questions before I get started and I figured I might as well ask people who know wthat they are talking about. 1. Is the Hohner D40 an anglo or english concertina? How can I tell the difference? 2. What is the best way to learn to play? Find a local instructor, buy a book online, learn the notes and just tackle songs? Any recommendations there of? 3. Any other advice for a beginner? Thanks for your time! ~Daniel
