  1. Sorry for the very delayed reply! I've learned so much just from your helpful replies. I had never heard the terms "Balfolk" or "Musette" before and just having the right words to find what I'm looking for is so incredibly helpful. I'm curious, if I can get my hands on any of the accordion sheet music, will that be the same for playing on a concertina? I'm still quite new to concertina playing and don't want to send myself on a fool's errand!
  2. I'd love to find a book or collection of French accordion music that can be played on an anglo c/g concertina. Can any accordion sheet music work on the concertina? I'm not familiar with how to play an accordion and only just learning the concertina, so not sure if chords need to be altered or anything like that. Thanks!
  3. Hello! As the grateful recipient of a Trinity College concertina for Christmas, I'm driving headfirst into learning this lovely instrument. Right away I was having problems holding it and I felt as though the straps were too loose. I have small hands and had to cut additional holes into the straps to pull them tighter. Now that I've been playing for a few weeks, I often find I'm pushing the bottoms of my palms against the concertina while pushing up on the strap with my knuckles, which get a tiny bit sore. I was wondering almost if I should add padding to the strap where it contacts my knuckles. Am I holding my instrument correctly? Thank you!
