Lachal Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I have a Jones 26 Button anglo concertina . I believe its a Wheatstone layout . I have the button layout diagram for the main rows , however I am missing the upper row ( three buttons either side L / R on the diagram . Is there a Wheatstone / Jones diagram that shows the full 26 button layout . Thanks for reading. Edited March 27, 2021 by Lachal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) This is the official Salvation Army 26-key layout, from their 1905 tutor book, so drop everything down by a semitone for G/D: Edited March 28, 2021 by Stephen Chambers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohen Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 That layout looks to be a C/G 26 key Stephen, so same idea would apply but you'd need to drop it a fourth to get to a G/D layout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops, that'll teach me to post in a hurry (we were just about to go out at the time), without looking hard enough at my source (which suggested it was for Ab/Eb, and I took it at face value) - though I never saw such a thing as a Jones Salvation Army 26-key in anything but Ab/Eb. The Salvation Army tutor book that I'm familiar with is H. H. Booth's 1888 Instructions for the Salvation Army Concertina (which I discovered on a research trip to the Bodleian Library, Oxford) that is basiclly a chord book for a 26-key Jones in Ab/Eb. But I guess the 1905 C/G diagram may have come as as big a surprise to existing Salvationist Anglo players as it was to me... What I should have quoted was this then, from member lachenal74693: 11 12 13 11 12 13 A/B F/E♭ E/F# A/B F/E♭ E/F# Left Hand Accidentals Right Hand 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 A♭/E♭ E♭/G A♭/B♭ C/C# E♭/F A♭/G C/B♭ E♭/C# A♭/F C/G Left Hand A♭-Row Right Hand 6 7 8 9 10 6 7 8 9 10 E♭/B♭ B♭/D E♭/F G/A♭ B♭/C E♭/D G/F B♭/A♭ E♭/C G/D Left Hand E♭-Row Right Hand That accidental fingering, as I've pointed out previously, is the same as Jeffries used - though it seems to have originated with Jones.

CrP Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I have a 26-button Jones anglo in G/D and I will gladly share the note layout diagram with you. If you send me a pm with your E-mail address, I'll scan the diagram and attach it to an E-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just making note of interesting historical layouts these days. Didn't mean to revive anything! ...but since I'm here, here's Jones' 26-key Salvation Army layout for C/G, Ab/Eb, and G/D, all based on the original C/G diagram in this post (whose right-hand accidentals differ slightly from your diagram, Roger).
