mandojoe Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 This may be a naive question, but duet tutors are rare enough that I have to ask: How dependent would this tutor be on the specific layout of the Wicki/Hayden Duet? Are duet concertina performance issues similar enough from one duet layout to another that this tutor would be relevant for a Maccann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what you’ll find in Wim’s book, but Iris Bishop (Maccann player in the UK) is working on an all-duet-systems book. She first contacted me two years ago about providing some input for the Hayden side of things, and I haven’t heard from her in a year or so with updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also Brian Hayden's all-systems duet workshop tutor at http://www.concertina.com/hayden-duet/Hayden-All-Systems-Duet-Workshop-Tutor.pdf . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Jeffries duet player I would say no. Beyond their chromatic and split handed nature ( if you chose to play that way ) the note arrangements ( and thus the fingerings ) are very different. The concept of a duet is easy to ken but the specific systems...not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Barnert Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 First of all, if you’re searching for it, it wouldn’t hurt to spell his name correctly. It’s Wakker, with two K’s, and he usually goes by Wim, rather than William, although he’ll answer to either. His company, Concertina Connection, Inc., in Valleyford, Washington, is the source of the book. I would get in touch with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in his shop, @Kimric had a Wakker tutor or two. You might check with him: https://www.smythesaccordioncenter.com/ Edited May 17, 2023 by Luke Hillman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by my email correspondence with the Concertina Connection while getting moving with the Hayden, he's using William nowadays, at least in a professional context.
