SmougyG Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 So I was looking at Jay's concertina's and I took a moment to really look at the tritone fingering setup. It looks really intuitive. I'm curious if anyone has ever tried it yet? I originally came from but the note locations would constantly confuse me. This looks like with the way my mind works I would be able to really grasp onto the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It follows a pattern of threes and fours -3 notes on one end of the instrument, followed by 4 on the opposite end, to play up a scale. -where you start depends on the key you want to play in -The pattern repeats identically up the octaves. I have tried one, and while I do not intend to abandon the English concertina, I could accommodate this as a second instrument. One difference to the English concertina system is that there are no alternative accidentals. The same button has to cover for G# and Ab, also D# and Eb. With a 3-octave range that saves 6 buttons. I have one on order, with a slightly extended range, going down to C3. That makes its range the same as an English 48-button tenor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Colpitts Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I am curious about this thread, but can't seem to find where it began. Can someone kindly point me there? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Colpitts Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thanks, David. I knew you'd know! And, sounds good, to me. If I hadn't started Anglo and "graduated" to Hayden, I'd have tried this, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
