jim troy Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 A link, please, to The Mathematician Hornpipe being played on Anglo ? I have the recording of Simon's version on English Concertina already, stunning, as usual. good man, Simon. Someone mentioned, maybe, track 6, Niall Vallely. If this exists, maybe the name or location etc., of the recording/CD, or somesuch ? Thanks, Jim Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Track 6 you were referring to is the "anglo international" CD. Besides that there is a recent recording by Hugh Healy. https://hughhealy.bandcamp.com/album/ceolaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim troy Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Thank you, Takayuki Yagi, for that link. I have ordered Hugh Healy CD from Custy's Music. do you know in what key he plays The Mathematician ? and is it an Eb/C, or which tuning the concertina is in ? I will sort it, but it would help to cut to the chase. A great showy tune, and a good tune in itself. Again, thanks for all the help.

Takayuki YAGI Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I checked the notes of the CD and this is what I found: "Wheatstone 38key, C#/G#, Tracks 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,12 Wheatstone 38key, C/G, Tracks 3 and 11" Yes, somehow track 10 is missing. I have no sense of pitch, but if it's not C/G then I think it's C#/G#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Michelle O Sullivan used to make a nice job of it as well. Not sure she recorded it but I heard her play it a few times in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John, Wexford Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Hugh plays the Mathematician Hornpipe on his C#/G# concertina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim troy Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Thanks to John, Peter and Takayuki I just discovered that I already have that Hugh Healy CD An Eb Concertina ? interesting. I'd be interested to hear Michelle's version of the tune. Peter, if you come across a recording of her playing this, would you give us a head up ?
