Concertina Videos

[Frank Edgley]

My daughter, who has worked with me in my workshop for several years, had a very interesting idea, today. What if players of Edgley Concertinas sent me a short video clip of them playing their Edgley Concertina? It would not have to be of great production quality, and beginners, as well as more advanced players would be welcome to contribute. With your permission, implied by the submission of the video, I would post these on my blog. Your name could be withheld, if you prefer, but the number & key of the concertina, as well as country or state would be of interest to myself and anyone else watching. Please get back to me at fedgley@cogeco.ca if you have any questions, or to submit your contribution. Thanks.....

Hi Frank

 

Just a suggestion, YouTube allows embedding as a link from their site directly. Under the video is a button called share. Most uploads to YouTube allow it, if it's not disabled. All it is is a link to the video with no copying, and it has an embedded player. Click on it for some options to embed on your site. The person administering your blog would understand the codes. Here's a nice one to play with. I don't think the musician will mind.

 

It would look something like this:

A quick search came up with these:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=979&bih=763&q=edgley%20concertina&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=2965815l2970329l0l2970517l17l17l0l6l6l0l271l2582l0.1.10l11l0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbm=vid&source=og&sa=N&tab=wv

 

Most of them are labeled with the description of the concertina, and most are from members here, and mentioned at one time or another in the video forum. To Email them, they would probably tilt the system and not send, since most are larger than allowed as an attachment to an email. They can be anywhere from 10 to 30 Megabytes large, depending on how it's sent. But, there is a way to watch and save it to your computer......... It's a start.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I would prefer to have people send me their videos directly. That way it is easier to have things like concertina of the month, and be able to have all "Edgleys" in one place.....sort of an archive of Edgley players. fedgley@cogeco.ca

Hi Frank

 

What a neat idea. It's already a nice concertina blog. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

Thanks
