For Ireland, I'd not tell her name - with drone

[Yuxin Ding]

 

This is a beautiful Irish air I learned from Gary Coover's Anglo tune book "In the Harmonic Style," but my video is actually followed Hector Awol's performance on a C/F melodeon. 

 

Recently I've been trying to use the drone button in some tunes. After couple weeks of practice I can eventually press some other button on left hand side with the drone simultaneously. 

 

I had never played any other Anglo with a drone except this Bastari, so I don't know if it is or isn't normal to have a conspicuous gap when changing bellow directions. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestion to me about the drone button.

Sounds great!  Nice job. The drone sounded perfect to me.

The Bastari sounds wonderful. If I’m ever in the market for a 40 button instrument I may very well consider one of those if I can find one!

[SIMON GABRIELOW]

Very beautifully played; with a real sense of yearning about the melody.

Beautiful! This is the song that compelled me to start learning concertina. Love your rendition with the drone!
