Mikefule Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Richard Mellish said: It seems to me that Kathryn is being far far more ambitious than anyone would expect on a 20 key box. I'd love to hear what she will do when she gets a 40 key one. There is a huge amount you can achieve on a 20 button box. It's not as versatile as a 30 (or more) but I feel that its restrictions give it more of what I consider "the authentic Anglo sound". Harmonic style on a 20b Anglo requires a lot of compromises, gaps, cheats and bluffs and as a result it sounds like no other instrument. I play my 20b from time to time just to get back to basics. I think it makes me a better musician on the 30b. Playing in the second key (G on a CG, D on a GD) gives you a pretty full set of chords and bass notes for tunes in the major key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Wheeler Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Hi Richard, No plans to venture beyond 20 buttons at the moment..I keep finding more things to do with those 20! 😂 Just now I stumbled on the most beautiful 9th chord - luckily I had the phone on record so I can rediscover how on Earth that happened! And mashing the top four buttons together on the left makes a lovely Em7 Just considering the increased permutations just a few extra buttons might provide us enough to fry my head right now!

I found the "Anglo Concertina in the Harmonic Style" a revelation. I always tought it should be possible to play some good harmonies and this book showed me how. Hope you have a great time with it.

Thanks in advacne Joachim Hi Joachim, sorry I haven’t replied til now The YouTube link there was to my channel. I just clicked on it and it worked for me - how odd! perhaps if I link to one of my videos you can find my channel (and my other videos) from that? I was m so very pleased that you found it motivating! Let me know if it worked for you. Ive only got a few concertina videos up there so far (arranged in a playlist) but that’s because videoing things on my own is all very new to me but I hope to do lots more. And maybe, if it’s helpful, I could do some videos showing things in more detail - slower or explaining how I came up with arrangements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelteglow Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 What a Brilliant Topic Although I have been playing for a few years there is always something more to learn when you go back to basics .That's what I have been doing through Lockdown .Thanks bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
