Fabian,
where you are living in France ?
Being a very good book, Bertram Levy´s Desmystified Anglo" is written fopr the 30 button concertina.
As already said, you wwill find here in the net all the information y<ou need, also Chris Timson FAQ.
Int the Links, you wuill find a Frabnh Honmepage in FRranch Langauge, written by a French Concertina Player, I think it is called mroe or less
Concertina in #Fance.
For the 20 button Anglo, I would recommmend also Frank Edgleys Tutor, which you will find easyy on Frank´s Hoepage and can order directly from him too.
If you give me youor address, I cxan send you a copy of a page fo the Fraench Magayine LÁccordeon, sjhowing you where to buy a Beginners Tutor inb France in French.
My eyes are ill so for me it is an extra effort to find, to locate more precisely tjhis information for you. Also I am in ghuur now.
Burt i f you have probelms to find, what I mention, I can helo youz later on, on Sunday.
I have also some CD edited by Henk van Aalen, he made it for me, this great man, playing Irish Tunes and some other at Learning Speed and on normal Speed.
You might find it helpful.
I am allowed to burn a copy.
Enjoy your Concertina and let us know about your progress.
Kind regards
Joachim

Dear Henk and dear Mr. Bellows,
Thank you for your reply.
Henk, always helpful, I shall take.
To be wise ? Me ? Can the heart be wise ?
Mr. Bellows :
Your advice seems to practical.
I bought a nice old Anglo Lachenal with a 5 fold bellow, which does not work.
It has been cheap.
It looks nice, a pity to destroy. But I guess I shall do so with the result that of a dying bellow may be borne new ones.
Kind regards

I plan to teach children to play the Concertina.
I have my own ideas about it, but practically no expereoince.
Who has expereionce, ideas, suggestions for this purpose.
Limit the instrument to a 20 key instrument ?
The children will be about 8 - 12 years old.
Any Tutor to be recommended.
Preparing a own one, what should it contain for a first part ?
Any Tutor for other instruments, whioch might serve as an example ?
Wellany comment and suggestion will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance and kind regaresd

Dear All,
As you may have seen, I had offered my Tedrow Baritone for sale.
I played all the time mainly myC/G treble Concertina and very little the Tedrow Baritone I own.
There has not been much response or interst
Luckily nobody wanted to buy it and after haviong sold my C/G Treble, I am playing more the Baritonme and I am learning :
- My TEDROW made Baritone is good, and with exception of the lowseste two reed, even quick. It sounds lvely and even majestic.
I knoqw that Bo has build in the fionest Antonelli reeds he could get and those reeds are sounding depending on the oplayer sweet, similar to a Flute perhapsx or evfen a clarinet, and it cvan play very loud and never unpleasant.
So thank you Bob. Up to know I had not get aware the good and well made instrumetn you have given to me.
- Yesterday I had the chance to play together with another G/D tuned Concertina, playing Folk Music and Shanties. We did it on a public place, and I earned my first buck as street musician
- Later in the day I learend to play a Slow Air in the G Row in D and well I have nio better word than "beutiful", charming.
I shall go ahead to discover my TEdrow Baritone.
If you loiok for an payable Baritone Anglo, I want to recommed the TEdrow warmly.
This I say sioncerely and convinced,. Thanks Bob.
But the real intention of the Topic is :
When I bought mine, which might have been the first Baritone Bob has made, I thought that Bob would sell many of them, that it would be a commercial succes for him.
I have not spoken with him recently, but I guess it is not as I havwe thouhgt.
And the very reduced interst in my offer, does confirm this impression.
I ask : WHY ?
And more important for me I ask to Britone Anglo Players to tell me, how, for waht kind of Music they do use their Baritones ?.
And eventually I would like to listen some more Baritone Anglos.
Regards
Joachim

I do not wish to sell my Baritone anymore.
Now, when my C/G Anglo has been sold, and I play the >Baritone more than before, I am diswcovering it. It is beautiful and I shall stay with it.
Luckily there have anywy not been offers fo it.
I imaigned it form beginning, but also I am surprised.
Sjhall start a new topioc about tjhis.

Henk,
I only discovered this post today.
Thanks for the nice tune.
I plan to come to Germany from the 22th of March untilabout the 5th of April.
Would like to meet you at least one evening and play together.
And would like to record on MD the tunes you have recently published here.
And to look with you about the REcording software.
And to play you a nice Polka set, I am learning in these moemnts.
And to play a tune, where in order to achieve the speed, I had aslo to learn to play using all three rows. Tah we can compete who plays it quicker, and drink a beer.
Will it be possible ?

Lisa,
I am teaching to my daughtetr, whoi is now 9 years old, and we staareted ehen she has been 7.
I am also teaching to my grandson who is 6 years old.
My daughter stareted with an old, and cheap German Corcertina 20 buttons. I simpy changed the leather bands, shortening them.
Now she has got a nice 20 button Stagi C-1, nicely finished and of sweet sound, I enjoyu to play, coming even with leather bellos for a reasonable price.
There is coming an old Lachenal, whioch I must try to repair for her.
The Granson has started this year with a Chrismas Present, also a Stagi , made in plastic, and coloured blue, red or yellow, amde for kids. It is no toy. It can be really used for starting with a 5/56 old kid.
This one cost here in Europe about 150 Euros, or about 180 - 185 US$.
Have a look to Stagis website toi see the models I mention :
www.brunnermusica.com
The model I mean, has the number PL-4-2 and is announced as a "special concertina for children".
Kind regards

Hi all,
have been very busy these days trying to make the money for a living and more Coincertina stuff.
So I gort aware late about this thread. Excellent !!
Thank you Al, thank you Henk and thanks to all contributior.
Up to a certain point it is a satisfaction me thjinkiong that all this is related to the thread I posted in December, "Interchanging Music, Learning, TEaching adn Making Friends". By the other hand it seems that this kind of ideas were anyway floating in the air.
However, great that this project may came to bea realityy.
Now I understand Henkm, why you could not answer to my qustion how to use the recording software. I shall find out with patience.
A pitty, that I cxannot help with the organisation and more than any with the computer stuff. It costed me about 30 - 45 minutes to read all the contributions. Imagine ! But it has been worthwhile.
Here a short resum, what I woould like to find in this new page :
1. Music perforwemd by us ourselfes at any level.
2. Encouragement to Bweginners to makje us listen their incipient playing and read there questions.
3. Tutor recording, I mean :
We have Alln's recordings
I have a Tutor Cd from Henk, which I guess he would not mind to shatre with opthers
And I mysefl I am preparing withthe help of my friend Mike Murphy, who lives in Spain some tapes, recorded at learning speed, intermedium speed and real speed.
ACtuallay a very enjoyable Polka Set, but also other Irish Music.
I got a Tutor MD from a known Player, in order to learn from his Cds.
Askinmg him, asking opthers, I risk to say that there is a chance that we might get other material.
I think to listen nice Music, performed on Concertinas, in general , we would not reallyh need thios project.
But to to know each opther better and getting to be friends and to learn from each other, this what really makes sense to me.
I think it should be even possible that somebody comes up with teh question :
I would like to leatrn to play this and this tune, who is willing to play it for and record and send to this new page, so me and others can learn it.
But nobody should get this "stuff" if not willibng to present after a certain time the results of the efforts done by the one who helps and the one whjo has asjked for.
Me individually already I am "pressing, begging" a number of persons to do this for me and I have got some results.
I have got music from Jim Lucas, when he visited me about a couple of yuears ago in Spain, an a kind of tutor tape.
Tunes he composed himself and perforemd on huis English system Concertina and after trting it ion my anglo over the rows without a real succes, no I ghave learned thanks to him, to play across the rows, and can achieve an acceptable speed and give the real character to the tune. Well from the four he has gfiven to me, I learned only one correctly up to now, but go ahead with opthers.
It has been a great experience, which I think would be very inttersting to share with other beginners or slightly advamced beginenrs. For me it has been a "key" or "cruciakl" experiebnce, opneing me the dorfrs for much more.
And weithout this help, I think It would have takem me a lot of more time to reach there. Now I start to apply this expereince on other tunes. mixing as it intersts me the over the rows push-`pull style and continuos phrasing.
I think you undertand that I s do not really want to speak abnout myself, but explain the exprerience, I think could be very valuable for others.
And I feel qyuite enthusiastic about this GREAT project.
Henk, I guess it will keep you busy !
Whats your ipinion
P.D. : I thought already to open my onw Homepage for the purpose.
Once the project comes to be reality, it should be published on the General Discussioopn Foprum, inviting people to share the experience .
THOUSAN THANKS !!
-
Me too !!, Congratulations Morgana. Yes that's fun !
After playing around on my Concertina for about two years now, I amking the experience you are telling here.
Each day easier to catch the tunes by listening recordings !
And as you say different fingerings, come eeasy, relatibvely !
I am learning actuallay on four differnt tunes I got by a friend abuot 18 months ago, he plñayed on the English system Coincertina, quite fast and fluently, Than I learend to play those tunes over the row, pushing and pyulling all the time, but never I could achieve the necesary speed and the real character.
Now I use all three rows and I got it !
I hope I can record them and bring them to the Tunes & Sopngs Forum in a next future, but I must ask for allowance to the friend and composer of thos tunes.
Would be very interesting to disccus the nig numbetrs of fingerings possible and to explain to those who still have not found the way.
Hope I can share it with you all soon.
Regards
Joachim
Kids : steady and constant effort and dedications leads to cuccess !, I hve been told as boy and now I can see iti is really ture

First German Mini Squeeze In
in General Concertina Discussion
Posted
Concertina Players from all over the World !!!
Well more reasonably from Germany and Neigbour Countries !
Dear Friends,
I am back !
I got a job after quite a long time.
I am back to Life and also back to Concertina.net, although I did not give up and have gone ahead playing and learning to play the Concertina, and since I had to give away my a bit better Concertinas, I am leaning to handle my cheap Chinese ones and sometimes they start to sound good.
Whe I startred tzo play the Anglo, it has been easier to progresss with the better ones, now I know a bit better, I find ways to take advantage about the Chinese ones.
Well, to the point :
Henk and I plan to meet about the 10 and/or 11 / 12 of December, here in my place REINHEIM, not far away from DArmstadt and Frankfurt/Main.
Henk and I we sould enjoy to have more Players and Friends with us.
I hope at least one more German Player will be with us.
I could organize something, would do my best, to make you have a nice weekend in GErmany, eventually sleeping in the Forest in reasonable price Guesthouse, organized by Odenwald Freunde, meaning Friends of our local mopuntains. or alternatively in a cheap Hotel in m,y town.
Here is a local group of amateuer Musicians who like Irish Music, I could make them join us and otherws.
We could make Music, speak about the isntruments and eventually visit our beautiful Xmas Markets in our surroundings.
We have also Irish Pubs in DArmstadt and possibly I copuld also organize a session or somethjing like a session.
Jim, Jonatahan, Erwin and who more ? Let me know the soonest possible your interst and I shall organize or better said improvise somehting we all may enjoy, sopmething with a spontanous character, as I am.
I cannot tell you nothing about cost in this moments, but I would estimatze apart of travel cost, the stage here, may not come more expwnsive than
70 - 120 Euros ????
I also can contact the KonzertinaNetz, German Concertinanet, and maybe some of this groupment may come also.
Cordially and excitedly
Joachim Delp
