Maple Leaf Rag (by Scott Joplin)

[dabbler]

Hello everyone.  It took several months of practice and a couple of ergonomic enhancements to the instrument, but here's a performance of Maple Leaf Rag for the 52-button Hayden duet.  I'll detail the enhancements I made in a separate post since I think they add a lot of capability to the Hayden.

Cheers,

-George

I said pretty much the same thing in the other thread. How long have you been playing the Hayden?

[Geoff Wooff]

Well played !!    Interesting   and  useful  enhancements too.

Wonderful musicality, and the best rendition of ragtime on a concertina that I have listened to! The enhancements sounds very interesting as well, and I hope to try it!

[Randy Stein]

Brilliant

[dabbler]

Thanks, folks.  That's really nice to hear from people whose playing I admire.

About 14 months plus one pandemic so it has seemed like forever (almost two years total).  I'm a long time guitarist though.

Jeff! You’re not playing anymore??

[Boney]

Not really. I dabble a bit here and there, but haven't played in public or done any serious practicing in years.

[David Barnert]

Sorry to hear. I hope you’re enjoying what’s replaced it.

But you're still playing the bones, no?

Yes, here and there...matter of fact, I was just in the studio for a bit of recording a few weeks ago. We'll see if my contribution makes the final mix.
