TapTheForwardAssist Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I wanted to show a friend a clip of the versatility of the English concertina, and it's driving me crazy I can't find one specific player. Not sure if she deleted her account and videos are lost, or if I'm just not searching right. In the mid-late 2000s there was a young woman who posted several clips on YouTube of classical and jazz-y music on a notably larger than average concertina, irrc posed on a stool in a relatively upscale living room or such. She had several clips and seemed like a really solid player, and the recording quality was (for that time) notably better than average. And she posted it at a time when not so many concertina players were posting on YouTube, so had a bit of a head-start in popularity. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Is that artist's work still up?

That thread is not about her, but about some files that used to be on her web site. I’ve just had a look at her site and there doesn’t seem to be anything there more recent than 2015. She was a member here, with two different user names. Neither has visited concertina.net since 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note her words at 43:50 -- “I’m a bit out of practice with the concertina.” So I guess she’s living in Wales, now. She was in France 15 years ago, and was living in the US when she came to NESI a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassconcertina.net Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 what kind (bass, baritone, treble, ect,) kind of concertina is she playing in the first video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I believe it is a baritone-treble, i.e. a treble extended down to include the baritone range. Edited February 9, 2021 by John Wild typing error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
