A/E tuning?

[David Hornett]

Hi,

 

Has anyone a A/E three row fingering chart, or a suggestion. I have just completed a couple of A/E concertinas and thought I could work out the third row, but it has proved beyond me, the notes I have there are I suspect not the ones that should be there.

 

All the best

I (we) have a Jeffries, albeit 38/9 button, I can tell you what that is, but it may not be much help given the extra buttons. 

[David Hornett]

I would be very interested. All I need is the top row, left and right hand, the 'tinas I make are the common Jeffries tuning. My problem is I am an ear player but have not a clue re. music theory, but I do know what sounds wrong, and the way I have tuned the two A/Es 3rd row is certainly not right.

 

Thank you so much for your offer.

Are you sure it is an A/E concertina, and not an A?/E? one.

Missing the word "sure",

Very sure, I just made both of them. I have made quite a lot of 'tines, but they are c/g and g/d, not a/e
