Hello to all, I am down in Northern California for a week or so and was wondering if any California members could tell me of a shop that might sell concertinas or melodions? Thanks, Mike

Hello, I am looking for some easy irish music that have parts that our beginner group might learn by St. Patricks day. Thanks, Mike

Hi, I started out on a Rochelle two years ago and NO problems with the instrument. The Rochelle was a much better box than I was a player. I just recently upgraded to a Morse. Mike

Hello, Are there any cons (besides price) to using a Pelican Case to protect my concertina? Thanks, Mike

Hello, How does one make a donation to Concertina Net? Thanks,Mike

For a beginner what does playing in F or any other note mean? Thanks, Mike

Hello, i never met Rich, although I did buy a concertina from him. I did find him a moderate voice on many topics that I thought were about to become argumentative. Mike

Hi, I joined the forum before I had a concertina because I knew nothing about them. I now have a Rochelle and I read the forum daily. I have learned a lot by reading the posts. I don't post often because I have nothing intelligent to add. Thanks, Mike

You could always come to Alaska. We have had snow for 6 weeks and will have it until the end of April MIke

In another debate PeterT said that there was a statistic that most people online are 50+ blokes...I said that explained the grumpyness. And someone else said there wasn't many young people or girls. And I'd thought I'd see how it balanced out here. I'm hoping there will be a nice even demographic. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Maybe the under 50 females are working and not spending as much time on the net as we over 50 males are. mike

Thanks to all for the quick and good Information. I guess I haven't tried out any tunes with flats in them. In looking over my key lay out it seems that I have 3 Bb's and no others. anyway thanks again for the help. Mike

Hello, I have been reading this site for 6 months and have learned a lot. I have a Rochelle that I purchased from the Button Box. It is my first musical instrument. My question is, what does this mean? Bb. It is the small b that confuses me. Actually I have lots of questions, but this will do for now Thanks, Mike
