Bawdy English drinking songs
string plucker replied to string plucker's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Cheers,this could take some time.... -
Hello,I'm new to it too,you should have the advantage of good timing though,being a drummer.If you know any guitar players ask them to record a few backing tracks and 'feel' your way around them.I can't read music and have played by ear for years(on guitar),the concertina has inspired me to learn.It might take ages but so does anything worth doing.

Thank you,If I start now I will have something to play at Christmas.It will take me that long !

Hello,I've just been to the National Winter Ales Festival in Manchester and feel inspired!Dr Busker(piano accordion) hit the right spot.I want to have some fun by playing this 'style' at open mic nights on my very basic MayFair,guitar players have it too easy!

Wheatstone leather thumb straps
string plucker replied to string plucker's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
cheers Leo,I've now bookmarked a very dangerous site...strings or thumb straps on pay day?What have I done,I'll be selling guitars next! -
Any idea where I can buy new straps for a budget mayfair.I've had to wrap strips of an old( favourite) shirt around them to stop the dye making my thumbs look red raw.

Hello Neil
I don't know if you have received my last E mail or not...so belt and braces posting this,I have cash waiting if the distance is not to far.Iwas hoping it could have been arranged for this evening,not eager /impatient/sitting on my hands in expectation of plaing/hearing this concertina ...or anything.My phone No is in the E mail
cheers

hello again,your e-mail for concertina.biz is NOT working,it just keeps returning them,I was a bit reluctant to hit 'buy now' as I had not heard anything from you.Sorry for the continual contact..but this will be my first concertina and my fingers are itching
-
hello,can you get in touch,I'm interested in the wheatstone mayfair
Cheers.string plucker

English Concertina
string plucker replied to Geoffrey Crabb's topic in General Concertina Discussion
thank you mr Crabb,I now know that the 'Mayfair' is a"treble"concertina,though i don't know what freq. range this covers(used to A=440Hz).I think it might be a bit high for me. Will own one soon..I hope -
Is this a good English concertina to start on and do accordion reeds sound more mellow? Cheers
