2manyhobbies

well thanx to those who actually had something helpful to say meanwhile, all the musicality stuff doesnt really matter to me. I understand that certain instruments arent made for certain music. I am only a newb to the concertina, i play 5 other instruments (hence the 2manyhobbies name). all i was asking was if a Jackie was a good instrument to start on because i dont have a butt load of money to spend. And i believe that was answered YES, so thank you everybody.

well, anyways......i dont know what kind of side topic ya'll have gotten yourself into, but if anyone has anymore "actual" advice on my topic, then i would more than appreciate it.

ok well thats all good to know and i thank yall. im peally lookin forward to learning how to play, mostly learning because i am tired of learning instruments but how to read music for them. this seems a little more straight forward as far as reading goes. Also my dad is English and i kinda like the thought of playing a folk instrument from the homeland haha.

so im looking for a good beginnerish english concertina. i have been looking at the Jackie and like what i am reading but the 30 button set up looks a little weird (note that i am new and probably dont know what im talking about). i also am looking at a used possibly a lil beat up Lachenal 48 and i just want to know if it would be worth the trouble.
