soloduet Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 After one year spent on the Striso, a digital instrument with the same Wicki keyboard than my Beaumont duet concertina, I wanted also to feel the vibration of the reeds again: https://youtu.be/BMYCp_X70tg 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 A lovely and sublime sound and performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Nice. Very impressive. I’ve never been able to play Bach convincingly on the Hayden. Good to see you back on concertina.net. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soloduet Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Thank you very much! David and everybody, if you want to give it a try I can send the score that I've used for this recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming it doesn’t extend beyond the range of a 46 (I didn’t pay THAT close attention). Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandojoe Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

soloduet Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Yes Danny has made history and his innovative arrangements are always a great inspiration! Here are the scores and like I did it's always possible to change some notes in the accompaniment to adapt to a different range.
