Steve Wilson Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 There aren't many young people playing concertina in Australia. I'm trying to encourage more by producing videos like this one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelteglow Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Great to see you encouraging young musicians who can carry on the tradition of Concertina .Wish I had started when I was younger. Music has brought me so many friends. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Coles Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Fun. One loves concertina because it is a "loud instrument!" 😄 And good to hear folks like Warren Fahey are "passing it on." Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks for posting Steve , this video is most enjoyable and I hope it encourages more young people to take up a concertina, the little squeeze box that changed my life.

If you can scrape together the funds for an entry level instrument you shouldn't lose too much on a sale when upgrading. Sometimes generous concertina people will loan underutilized instruments if you can earn their trust and perhaps demonstrate some musical ability. If you're in Oz I could possibly assist. Reach out to your local concertina community, something nice might happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
