[EATMT TMD 2010]

hello all

yes we are on the same wavelength,also intresting to look up "redwing"

on the internet for a history of the tune

cplayer

[EATMT TMD 2010]

Interesting one (redwing)seems to be a well liked tune in folk sessions

from 1907 by kerry mills published as a cakewalk tune.

[To Coin a Phrase!]

hi all

I have a wheatstone linota anglo 40b s/n 23703 this had to be retuned to concert pitch,my pal has a 30 button anglo (wheatstone)

the s/n is just a few months on from mine.The point is that the 30b concertina is louder than my 40button. He also has a steve dickinson

wheatstone from the early 80s when we play together its hard to tell the difference between the two but there is a diffrence when played solo.

But I hasten to add that I am very pleased with my linota its in c/g.

This may help in as much as instruments from the good old days can vary!!

can any body help I went to a good tune up two weeks ago there were five jeffries concertinas in fulll swing

I came away thinking why do the all sound better than my jeffries (sorry concertina)???

all the best cplayer

[Selling A Concertina]

... over more than a century of repairs, 2/3 to 4/5 of the original reeds have been replaced with lachenal or lachenal-quality reeds.

 

this happened to me as i was on the verge of purchasing a jeffries several years ago.

Was it an instrument that had come from one of the Liverpool concertina bands by any chance?

 

That would be common enough with one of theirs, but unusual otherwise.

 

hi stephen

could you expand on this statement re the liverpool marching bands.

thanks
