Hello fellow Con- players.

 

Im having a little problem I want to share with u.

Its a question about straps and how tight they shud be.

 

When I play having the straps quite loose my playing suffers from holding the

concertina in what I wud call a firm grip.

Playing with straps loose my fingers tend to slip and when playing the little finger

I tend to loose speed a lot as I have to regain the correct position.

When I do that its like bending ur hand (in this case left) a little up and to the right.

Also I feel that too loose straps make me feel a little out of control of the instrument.

When tightning the straps that will cause less flexibility and also cause more problems playing the G row as my fingers will press more agst. the straps.

Soforth flexibility suffers .

 

Now Im not sure if u have had the same problem.

If u did have that kind of problem pls. let me know what u did ?...

Did u make a new hole " in between" or some sort of "middle way" ?

 

I guess u will figure out that my hands are not those of a craftsman but more of an

"office rat".!!

 

Best

Allan
