Hello! I'm a newbie to the concertina world, and would love a little advice. I recently bought a Hoener D40/20/9 in the key of C/G from Sam Ashe. I spent $260; they usually go for $305 retail. There were a couple loose screws holding on the straps, and the wood on the ends looks like particle board; I can see little splinters along the wood work. All that said, I love the sound so far, and am enjoying learning the instrument. I have 25 days left of my 30 days return policy. I can't seem to find anyone within 100 miles that has even heard of a concertina (much less, has one), so I think my options for a new one would have to be to buy online (which scares me). I'd primarily like to play hymns and Christmas caroling... maybe a pirate shanty or two. So, to my questions: 1. Should I return the Hoener immediately because of the quality of the construction? Or stick with it until I can play fairly well, and then upgrade? 2. Is a 20-button sufficient to play hymns/Christmas songs, or should I look for a 30+ button? 3. Should I play an Anglo or English for this style of music? I enjoy the diatonic so far, but don't know if playing hymns is feasible with one. 4. Is there a specific key I should be looking for for the instrument? 5. Are there any suggestions on where to go or who to meet to find Concertina players in Southern California? I'm near Murrieta; a town in Riverside county between San Diego and Los Angeles. Thanks ahead of time! I've already learned so much browsing these forums!
