My two concertinas are getting very sticky .(To much playing in pubs I guess) What should I use to clean them Any ideas ? Bob

OK thanks SW is not the answer. Does anyone use a tracker or GPS device to help locate their instruments in case of theft.? Bob

Its nice to have extra buttons I took Mick Bramich 's advice and gI find playing in different key require you to look at ot an extra C# on the pull. Playing in D C/G anglo requires seeking a path that suits the music.PS I hope you are Ok Mick as I have not heard of you lately .Bob

I sing and play on my Anglo using chords and Melody. I have noticed that some players use a combination of notes to make a chord so that with a reverse of the bellows gives them the next chord required . The easy ones I know using 3 notes on my 34 button C/G are L/H are FM to Em ,CM to Dm , GM push to Am, Do you know any more using just 3 notes ? I guess there will be many using 2 notes with reversing the bellows but I have not researched them yet . Another 10 years of practice required ! Bob

I love to play and sing on my G/D Anglo in D but I feel this is to low for my voice .I try to drink lots of water which helps My Throat at 75 and since COVID has not been good .Looks like I will have to relearn my playing in a higher key Have any of you had similar problems Thanks Bob

Sorry got the wrong way round .Bob

Just a thought 1 I was once told that the common key for male and femail voices in church is Eb same as F# Bob

Try to find a pub session and listen to some great playing .Take your concertina but beware ITM is played at quite a swift pace .Bob

I have just started playing again after 4 months the pain has eased .Its surprising how rusty I have got in that time. Bob

Three months ago I damaged the Nerves in my R/H Index Finger and damaged the knuckle ,My finger constantly feels as though its burning .I feel it might end my playing . Bob

I often go to Play and sing .Sessions at different clubs .Very often it is dominated by Guitars who play all manor of Pop songs some are happy for me to play along .My Question .-Once I identify the key is it better to just play a Pentatonic Scale and although for Major this excludes the 4th and 7th Interval can I play the 4th Chord of the Scale which I might play as an arpeggio or broken chord .I am not very good at music theory so tell me how you deal with this situation . Thanks Bob

Still for sale as I was not happy to send it by post . Can be viewed in Penzance or by arrangement next time I am in Bristol .Bob

I have been using my Anglo for several years now and although not leaking they are shoeing signs of wear on the bottom. Can I remove the ends and put them back on in a different position ?.Thus moving the worn side facing another direction . Bob
