Two traditional 5 & 8 count (French) Alsatian waltzes, so called odd or asymmetrical, played on a Chemnitzer concertina (German concertina), made by Ernst Bässler in 1880.

Nice - thank you!

 

Check out the Czech Area Concertina Club (pun intended) web site for loads of tunes arranged for Chemnitzer. There's some good tunes there - I transcribed quite a few polkas, and some other good stuff into (very simple) ABC a while back...

 

Here's the massed bands of the CACC with Angel Polka and Red Rose Polka - terrifying awesome...🙂
