Eric Fiddle Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 There seems to be several examples of the JACKIE available on the Internet, not so much the JACK. The one I can find is not very good, and a slow tune to boot. Can folks point me to JACK samples? I'd like to hear the differenc between the standard and the baritone. Tnx!

Eric Fiddle Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi Eric There are two in this thread: http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7283 There aren't many out there. Thanks Leo Thanks for that link, Leo, but I still only saw (after checking twice) the one JACK (the same one google found) in that list. This one: Chantal Noppen Demonstrate the Jack Baritone Concertina http://www.youtube.c...NzEDCKnE&fmt=18 Thanks anyway: that's a valuable comparison resource.

Johanna Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi Eric, I have a Jack, and although I'm not the most adept player in the world, I posted this little tune on it the other day: http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=13718 That doesn't go very low, though - except for the low F#, all the notes in it are ones that the Jackie has also. The lowest notes on the Jack are pretty slow to respond, so I doubt you'd be able to play a fast tune on them that would come out sounding like anything anyone would want to listen to. I don't have time right now, but later I can try to make a little recording showing what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanna Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Here you go - here's the same tune played in 3 different keys. I think this pretty well shows the responsiveness (or lack thereof) over the whole range. How much of this is due to the instrument and how much is due to my playing is left as an exercise for the reader. blue eyed stranger.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
