Daniel Hersh Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) This post from last year says Dan Worrall's paper The Concertina at Sea: A History of a Nautical Icon can be viewed and/or downloaded here: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/3988437/the-concertina-at-sea-the-anglo-german-concertina . I just checked and it seems to still be there. Edited December 20, 2023 by Daniel Hersh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Acott Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I have not read all comments but one point is that a good English with brass frames and steel reeds seizes up in temperatures below freezes, this fact that meant playing for the Morris in winter was minimal as I was the first in the warmth of the bar.

Dan Worrall Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Thanks Roger and Takayuki for posting the links. Both volume 1 and 2 of the Anglo concertina history (2008) are available for free reading on Google Books; just search on my name and the word concertina and they’ll pop up. And they are still being sold on Amazon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
