otsaku Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Anyone have a cheapish anglo they would be willing to part with? After just over a month playing the jackie and having just bought ( fingers-crossed ) a lachenal 48 key english, I'm wanting to start playing anglo before I get too entrenched with the english. So if anyone has a good beginners instrument gathering dust get in touch please. C/G or G/D thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C/G or G/D thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi otsaku As a total beginner myself, having just purchased a Jackie which arrived 3 days ago, I was wondering why you have decided to change from the English to the Anglo? (Hope this isn't a stupid question!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otsaku Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm not switching - I'm expanding I'm in love with my jackie and don't see myself ever letting it go. I bought the lachenal 48 because of the extra notes - originally I couldn't see the need for more than the 30 keys on the jackie because the tunes I was going to learn are the same as the ones I play on the tin whistle. And the tunes that baffls me on the whistle tend to be anything with a note lower than the lowest note on the whistle. Jim Lucas warned me I'd be meeting tunes needing a higher range than the jackie... lo and behold I started running into them a few days later. I got tired of transposing tunes - I only recently started reading music... As for getting an anglo its meant as an addition, something else to ( learn to ) play. I'm also planning one day in the future when I'm rich on getting a baritone english and when I'm very very very rich a duet. I've got the concertina bug.

It looks like we have yet another case of Concertina Obsessive Acquisition Disorder on our hands, sounds like a bad one too, it's got all the symptoms. Must be highly contagious ?

otsaku Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 That's what you get for visiting here When I first came here all I wanted was a new toy. You people with your fancy jeffries, crabbs, cross fingered, along the rows behind the head, english anglo duet, custom prototype, metal godzilla vs woodend godzilla, aboriginal bellows folds, irish madtrad, classical, seashanty all singing, all dancing morris germs got me infected.

RELCOLLECT Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) apart from the occasional complaint about the various instruments competing for my attention <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perhaps you should teach her the whistle...you could promote it as something that would draw you together by playing duets.

Rhomylly Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 otsaku, define "cheapish." I have a 30-button Stagi that was modified/improved by Bob Tedrow when new (it's about 6 years old now) that I haven't touched since getting my Edgley.

otsaku Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 cheapish is often whatever I can afford at any given moment But I'm thinking of a max of $200 and hopefully a lot less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 But I'm thinking of a max of $200 and hopefully a lot less. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So, COAD on a budget. It's an novel concept, be interesting to see how long it lasts ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otsaku Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 As long as I'm poverty stricken. Funny thing is that I was looking for an anglo when I bought the lachenal on ebay So up til then I had 400 to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
