Hello Tom Louw. You should contact "https://boeremusiekgilde.co.za/ " They could put you in touch with concertina players in your area. The website is being updated but there is an e-mail address for the secretary. They apparently have a branch in Pietersburg/Polokwane. "Beste geluk." Zak.

There is a concertina playing in this band...........

Hello Faf. I have mailed you a note. Hello Jim. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you are well. Cheers. Zak.

Hello Jake. Thank you. Half of this recording was played on a concertina with a perspex reed pan and the other half on a concertina with a traditional wood reed pan. For comparison............ and a bit of guesswork required? Cheers, Zak.

Your choice................one part played on perspex reed pan concertina ,the other on wooden reed pan concertina. Hope this works OK. Cheers, Zak.
