Hello from Phoenix. So I now have the Jack model of English concertina, since I heard the sound files and liked the baritone sound it produced. I got some sighted help to read the book that came with it, in order to know how to hold it, but I can't seem to get proper bellows control. When trying the scale of C, I don't know whether to start with the bellows all the way out, partially in, bent in a U shape, or what. Since I don't have any vision, if you could describe how I should get the proper start, and where in the C scale I should change direction, that would be most helpful. I don't know if it's the nature of the low notes to use more air than the normal concertinas without the baritone notes, but bellows control seems hard for me. Thanks for any help. Matthew
