Hi everyone , first i would like to say thank you for letting me join your forum , it is great to see that there are still people out there , that like me believes music is not all electronic like we hear these days.I was very fortunate to have the honour of growing up with some of the greatest musicians in South Africa that ever played Boeremusiek that being said it is such a shame that most of them has passed on and I am afraid that their style and genius might be lost to the next generation. My father also recently passed and I deeply regret that I did not spend more time with him making music seeing as I am not very addept at playing an instrument , however I have inherited all of his instruments and I have a few questions about two Wheatstone concertinas he left me One of them has a serial # of 53160 and the other is # 54183 I know they meant a great deal to him and I think it might be time for me to learn how to play the concertina in order to pass along the art to my young children. If there is anyone here who might be able to shed some light on these concertinas I would truly greatly appreciate it, thank you so much in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
Dankie
