To avoid overloading Concertina.net with attachments, I've created a DROPBOX FOLDER where you can view my videos, compositions, sheet music, pdfs, xml, musicxml, midi, and photos. I've only posted a few so far: "Over the Rainbow" arrangement files and files pertaining to my newly acquired 1904 Edeophone Baritone 56-button. I will keep adding music files weekly, so keep the link copied somewhere handy. ---Matt Heumann Thanks to all who suggested this solution!!!!!!! *You will have to download the midi, musicxml & xml files and reopen in appropriate music program. If it asks you to login, go to dialog below that where it says "continue download", you should be good to go!

Came across this article which I haven't seen referenced here: The Wheatstone Concertina and Symmetrical Arrangements of Tonal Space, Anna Gawboy, Journal of Music Theory, 2009, Volume 53, Number 2: 163-190 Abstract The English concertina, invented by the physicist Charles Wheatstone, enjoyed a modest popularity as a parlor and concert instrument in Victorian Britain. Wheatstone designed several button layouts for the concertina consisting of pitch lattices of interlaced fifths and thirds, which he described in patents of 1829 and 1844. Like the later tonal spaces of the German dualist theorists, the concertina’s button layouts were inspired by the work of eighteenth-century mathematician Leonhard Euler, who used a lattice to show relationships among pitches in just intonation. Wheatstone originally tuned the concertina according to Euler’s diatonic-chromatic genus before switching to meantone and ultimately equal temperament for his commercial instruments. Among members of the Royal Society, the concertina became an instrument for research on acoustics and temperament. Alexander Ellis, translator of Hermann von Helmholtz’s On the Sensations of Tone, used the concertina as a demonstration tool in public lectures intended to popularize Helmholtz’s acoustic theories. The English concertina’s history reveals the peculiar fissures and overlaps between scientific and popular cultures, speculative harmonics and empirical acoustics, and music theory and musical practice in the mid-nineteenth century. http://jmt.dukejournals.org/content/53/2/163.full.pdf+html Terry
