if you want to give it a try I can send the score that I've used for this recording.

 

Sure, it’s worth a try. I’m assuming it doesn’t extend beyond the range of a 46 (I didn’t pay THAT close attention). Thank you.

If you'd be kind enough to post the score, I'd very much like to give this something more than a try.  I have to say, soloduet, that in addition to your masterful musicianship, I've  admired the sound of your particular instrument  from the moment I first heard you play Roslin Castle ... and this sound played no small part in getting me to dive into the concertina realm.

It might be beyond the range of your bellows!

 

I've been inspired by Didie's playing - especially Roslin Castle. When I got my Peacock Hayden he kindly sent me the score to The Water is Wide. It has long slurred phrases and I keep running out of air from my merely 6-fold bellows.

Ahh, memories.

 

Not to take anything away from Didie’s playing, but as far as I’ve been able to determine, the very first YouTube of a solo person playing a concertina in a self-made video was Danny Chapman (RatFace here on concertina.net) playing Roslin Castle in 2006.

Here are the scores

 

Yes, easily within range if (as your video illustrates) you play the left hand part up an octave.
