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. Ignore & delete the various pop-ups asking you to do things, If it asks you to login, go to dialog below that where it says "continue download", you should be good to go!

I thought you might enjoy seeing & hearing a quick sound sample on my newly acquired 56-button 1904 Edeophone Baritone from https://concertinashop.com.au/ Thanks to proprietor (and now friend) PJ Cullen for his excellent service, brilliant packaging, and almost daily communication, it was one of my most enjoyable business dealings ever. PJ was a delight to talk to and the quality of the Edeophone is beyond my expectations. For anyone hesitant to buy from so far away: The concertina spent more time in US customs and the local USPS Distribution network, than in flight from Australia. The added bonus was that the instrument had no Duty on it (either because of being over 100 years old, or perhaps the Australian-US Free Trade Agreement). The 5 lb+ beast has really rapid action, great air retention, and a voice that rattles the windows. Really looking forward to getting to know it (just a few valves to set right). Looking forward to making some videos of it in action.

Here is my arrangement on Treble English concertina. Somewhere over the Rainbow (1939) Music by Harold Arlen (song lyrics were by Yip Harburg). The original version, way too long and way too many hokey lyrics was rejected by MGM, but when they needed a filler, they cut the song down to what became the Judy Garland classic. I am including a YouTube link. SEE MORE AT THIS DROPBOX LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/i5lofidbbd1yjobp9n9g0/AG3cvIuctpmyNHXehpLB9qw?rlkey=69a5q3urtcv1j4uk1s83do1bi&dl=0 ---Matt
