F/C Anglo

[Coenie]

Good day, 

 

I am a new learner, I have a Anglo consertina in F/C

 

Can any one help me with the key layout of the consertina please. 

 

Thank you. 

[John, Wexford]

Can you share a picture of your concertina please.

Hi John, 

 

This is my concertina, it is built by Danie Labuschagne here in South Africa. 

 

Regards

Hi Graham, 

Thank you for the keys, I will try it, looks the same as myne. 

[Coenie]

Hi Graham, 

 

I would like to ask you a question, what are the numbers for after the key eg, on the right hand left top f4, a5..? 

 

 

[Graham Collicutt]

Numbers are showing octave range: C4 is middle C.

[Coenie]

Thank you, I still have a lot to learn. I can ply a song or two but I learned it of sheets showing the buttons to press.

 

Thank you for the help with the keys, I could still bug you with a few questions in the future. 

 

Keep well, 

[Bill N]

I also have one of Danie's concertinas (mine is in D/A)  Everything in Graham's diagram is correct except for the lowest button in the C row.  I think you will find that on the push it will play c3, and on the pull g3.  

[Coenie]

Hi Bill, 

That is correct, left hand c row play c and g.
