David Levine Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I thought bars served screwdrivers? And who is the largest concertina player in the world? Junior Stevens is probably the tallest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffwright Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Royal Concertinas had the largest guest in the world (probably) ..... and Neil Wayne brought it. Here we can see an 84 key McCann, in the very capable hands of Jon Boden Esq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffwright Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 No - it could be described as a little unwieldy to play both hands at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 No - it could be described as a little unwieldy to play both hands at once. I doubt that it's appropriate to apply the expression "a little" to this instrument in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 No - it could be described as a little unwieldy to play both hands at once. How about playing 'one hand' at once? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Jordan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 jon got a waltz out of it with 2 hands. Bet he didn't play it holding it above his head a la some of the old music hall artists. Now that would have been impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
