Jessica Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I recently purchased a concertina at a antique shop. Its in good condition and have learned it is a 20 Button Scholer. so i started using youtube to learn some scales. However I went to look up a finger chart and after a loooooong search came to realize its tuned to D/A. I found a chart for the left hand but cant find a chart for the right hand. i also noticed on the youtube videos he is playing G/C. Id like to keep playing the one I have, its really just for my self but cant find any resources for it being D/A. its been YEARS since ive done some theory (8 yr marching band kid here who also pipes) but can i just keep learning aside the G/C videos? Also, and sources to find the finger chart for the right hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Schulteis Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Welcome! If you're not playing with others, you'll be fine following instructions for C/G. You can find a fingering chart here: https://anglopiano.com/?da-20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikefule Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 If you're playing alone. Pretend it's CG. The tunes will work with the same fingering, but will be transposed from C or G to D or A. Anglo is often played as a transposing instrument in this way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Yes Mikfule is right, often 20 key fingering or notes is similar in different keys, (just the key names like A, and D major it is maybe in, will be he differences on the page. I used to play my own 20 key in C and G , years back, and often played other pieces in other acommodating keys and it still worked, it just meant you had to be aware your music was perhaps a tone lower or higher; but the button and fingering was mostly the same.
