One note at a time or in octaves are they a different note push and pull . There are four short YouTube videos dealing with Scholers which may help you. They appear to be 20-button Anglos, and one of the models is triple-reeded, and another is tuned in D/A.

Sebastian Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Scholer concertinas are GDR-made two-row concertinas (different notes on push and pull). They can be single-reeded or double-reeded. Some are triple-reeded in the low register (to increase responsiveness). Usually the number of bellows sections indicate the number of reeds per note. The older ones have wooden levers, the newer metal ones. I myself use a double-reedet somewhat later Scholer concertina with limited button travel, labeled "Silvetta", from the now defunct company. I am happy with it. You can find some playing examples on my YT-channel. Edited October 11, 2018 by Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
