My Anglo Keys

[Srscherbik]

I just got a 30 key Anglo, and I read the notes on it to be the following. I was wondering if other 30-key owners has the same notes. OUT/IN

 

Left: F/E A/B D#/C# G/A A#/D#

G/C B/G D/C F/E A/G

A/B F#/D A/G C/B E/D

 

Right: D#/C# G/A A#/G# D#/C# F/A

C/B D/E F/G A/C B/E

F#/G A/B C/D E/G F#/B

 

 

Thanks,

Stefan

Stefan,

 

If you have accurately transcribed the notes that are on your concertina, several of your buttons have unusual notes or directions for those notes.

 

There is some variation among a few "standard" or common layouts that have been used for the anglo concertina, but the following buttons on your layout are not found on any of the most common layouts:

 

LH outside row: your "B/A" is usually "Bb/A" or sometimes, on original tuning Jeffries or Crabbs, "D#/A" [unless you are using the German notation, where "B" is equivalent to what we anglophones ;-) call "Bb"]

 

LH outside row: your "A#/D#" is usually "(A# or Bb)/G#"

 

RH middle row: your "C/B" is usually "B/C"

 

All assuming that the buttons are notated "draw/press" (Out/in) as you stated.

Thanks, buddy, that's helpful. The keys I had wrong checked out as you said they would, like my "D#" is really "G#." I guess I just recorded them wrong.
