A tune called "Banks", have you heard of it?

[jim troy]

Yes, Csharp on the outside row, and I have Csharp, on the push and draw.

Saves a bit of grief.

 

I'm trying to get my head around the G/D thing.

Had a Bb Concertina, many years ago, but we would have played them as a C/G

 

do you play the tune as on a G/D configuration, or do you play it as if you were on a C/G ?

Sorry, my internet speak is not as clear as mud.

Parp! Thread drift...

 

I don't really play it - for me it was a look at a tune for testing some of my home-brew software. I play most tunes 'as written', and as most tunes I play are in 1- or 2-sharps, I have no problems on my main G/D instrument. If I have a tune in (say) 2-flats, I will play it on my Bb/F, or use the Bb/F fingering on the G/D instrument (thus playing it in 1-sharp). Occasionally, if I'm feeling particularly adventurous, I will work out the fingering for (say) a Bb tune on a G/D instrument. I have no preferred approach, and as I say, as most of the tunes I play are in 1- or 2-sharps, it only arises once every Preston Guild...😊
