soloduet Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Playing concertina, or any musical instrument, is a nice way to travel in a pandemic time. Here is an Icelandic hymn discovered on C.net (thanks Gregor!): https://youtu.be/m8GniD2WMH0 And here is a song from Okinawa "The Voice of the Sea", usually played on the sanshin, a traditional 3 strings lute. On this drawing one can also see the nice concertina bag used by concertina players in Okinawa: Edited February 14, 2021 by soloduet 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapTheForwardAssist Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'm really digging this Icelandic tune! It occurs to me that I should be looking more into Icelandic works since I favor drone-heavy instruments. What make of concertina are you playing in the Iceland clip?

Ken_Coles Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 That Icelandic Hymn was recorded by Fiddle Fever about 40 years ago (how time flies) - Jay Unger, Evan Stover, Matt Glaser, et al. with a similar tempo and feel on multiple violins. Very nice on duet concertina! Tap, Didie describes his Morse Beaumont with extra bellows in this thread. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it sounded familiar (more than familiar, I knew where it was headed but I didn’t know why). Thanks, Ken. I have the Fiddle Fever album on vinyl. I know I haven’t heard it in at least 36 years, because it’s been that long since I moved to Albany without my turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
