  1. As usual, the guy “playing” the concertina doesn’t have his fingers anywhere near the buttons.
  2. Just to set the record straight: His name is Dana Johnson. He is located in Kensington, Maryland.
  3. Sorry to hear. I knew Kurt from the (at least) two times he attended the NorthEast Squeeze-In (NESI), back when it was at Bucksteep Manor (pre-2011).
  4. Sorry. Concertina.net is the closest I get to social media.
  5. What was her musical background (if any) before she found her way to the concertina?
  6. 🫤 I’d love to see what you were going to say, here.
  7. See this thread that just popped up an hour ago.
  8. I don’t know if you’re aware there is another current thread about Crook Concertinas that @WCrook has responded to quite recently.
  9. It cannot be used to send regular email. It does three things: It identifies him as a member of concertina.net, it notifies him (either through email or when he next visits concertina.net, I don’t remember) that he has been tagged, and it gives you access to his account page information. If you click on it you will be taken to his page. If you hover over it a box will pop up that includes a link to send him a message. I just looked at my account page and saw that you were looking at it a little while ago and Luke is looking at it right now. It shouldn’t be long before he finds his way to this thread.
  10. @Luke Hillman is on concertina.net. My tagging him just now should attract his attention. You can also send him a message through the forum software.
  11. I would add being able to diagnose, find, and remedy a fluffy-sounding note caused by a reed fitting too loosely in its dovetail joint. In my experience, this is by far the most common problem.
  12. Or Aura Lea (see the Wikipedia article linked above). Or, as Allan Sherman sang it...
  13. At the North East Squeeze-In (NESI) every year somebody generally gives a 1-hour review of common repair issues, but I have the sense from your question that you’re looking for something more intensive.
  14. Would that have been The Button Box? They closed up shop a year or two ago.
  15. Does it really take that long to make a single concertina reed?
  16. I’ve been part of this forum for 20+ years and never been logged out. Of course, it’s also possible that I’ve never been idle for 5 minutes, but I just tried it. I researched other stuff on the web without closing this window and more than 5 minutes later, here I still am. I’m on a MacBook Air running MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 and Safari.
  17. Maybe I opted in when I joined 20+ years ago and don’t remember. In any case, you can opt in or out at the “Following” link at upper right. It also offers a list of who’s following the topic (and allows themself to be listed). I just clicked it and discovered that only three names are listed, and considering that there are about 20 members who have posted here, I guess I was wrong about it being the default.
  18. That’s the default. You contribute to a thread, you get notifications on that thread forever unless you opt out.
  19. You’re not imagining things, Wendy. I saw it, too, but now it’s gone.
  20. The picture seems to be a 56-key instrument. Only 28 keys are seen on the right side.
