Anglo in F

[Kelteglow]

I will need another lifetime to learn to play my Anglo like some players  II have just found the joy of playing my C/G in the key of F .It also suits my singing voice   !  Is there  other non row keys that should visit ?Bob

I don't know much about music theory or how an anglo is set up but try A minor and E minor (relative minors for C and G).  I know from messing around with a 2 row melodeon trying to play Quebecois music that lots of tunes fit that are not in either full scale row.  You just won't be able to play chromatically in every key.  If your box has some accidentals try playing in those keys and see what fits.

works a treat even on 20b instruments, particularly with the low A variant (rather than C or D) on the pull (and A Dorian as well since you have the F# notes available), but only „natural“, not „harmonic“ with G# as leading note...

 

Best wishes - ?

but obviously your instrument has 26b at least, otherwise A maj wouldn’t work, at least not the entire scale...

 

(I apologize for not having noticed that in the first place)

Try Wexford Carol in a couple different keys .  I'll bet you can find a key other than C/G that it fits!

it‘s in Gmix/Gdor, so not playable on a 20b I reckon... (you would need a Bb in the B section, no prob with more buttons), whereas harmonies include Fmaj and Dmin as for me,

 

so transpose from here and see which „chords“ are available, or welcome different harmonies when shifting the melody...
