[Ica Uk-Japanese Music Exchange, 30Th June, Lewes, Uk]

I too had the pleasure of hearing and seeing this lovely lady, Miyuki play english concertina at Lewes yesterday. I echo Valmai`s comments. Miyuki`s playing of variations of "Greensleeves" being especially delightful.

Thanks to Jeremy.

[Die ou Waenhuis]

Anyone?

Hello Marcus, Look on U-tube for Japie Laubscher playing "Die ou Waenhuis". He was the composer of the tune. Unfortunately boeremusiek tunes were rarely scripted - just played and remembered. It is played in the key of Bb. Perhaps someone can transcribe it for you? Cheers, Zak.

[New Concertina Buttons]

After comparing the quoted measurements of these buttons with my existing buttons, I found them practically identical. I purchased some to replace existing ones which had broken. I have now fitted some and find them A,OK. So much so that I am replacing all the old buttons with these new ones.

At a £1 each, thats less than half the price I`ve been quoted elsewhere.

 

(1953 Wheatstone Anglo 40 button). Cheers, Zak.
