symon Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have looked at the scanned copy of one of the Salvation Army English Concertina Tutors (I think from this site) and it looks amazing and terrifying in equal measure. Just what I need! However, the scan was done quickly and it is quite hard to read the music. Does anyone know if a better scan was done of this tutor book. I would like to work from it but am finding it difficult using the only scanned version I can find online. Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Franch Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If it's the 1938 tutor, which I downloaded from somewhere, I agree that it's "amazing and terrifying." I've been very happy with Frank Butler's tutor, downloadable from Concertina.com. the site also has some Salvation Army tutors, perhaps where you got yours and I got mine. The Butler tutor moves at a good pace for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symon Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yes, I have that one too. I had forgotten about that. Hmm, time to dig it out again. The salvation army one has lots of interesting exercises, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelly0312 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) ooooo, nice find symon/Peter. I've been a member here for 2 years and got my first EC 9 months ago. I am lonely in Wisconsin USA and have tutored myself. All the scavenging of materials that I've done--I did not come across this little gem. I totally agree it looks really interesting. It has all the explanations of nomenclature that I could not remember from piano lesson days!! Thanks so much for the mention of this source. It goes to show just how extensive the files are here at concertina.net. You just got 'ta keep digging!!!

Some folks here might be interested in knowing about it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
