Zak vdV Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 On 8/12/2008 at 9:57 PM, ben said: Welcome to the world of boer music. There are certian designations used by boer music players to differentiate what type of style of music and tempo is to be used during a song or dance such as "setees" (a Scottish style of music), "vastrap" faster paced music, mazurkas, polkas, waltzes. There is also the old fashioned traditional music and then modern/pop/country style music. Most boer music players play by ear and there is no sheet music to my knowledge. I am in possesion of "lessons" with charts and diagrams of concertina layouts showing you which notes to pull and to pull during the course of a boer music song. Boer music players love anglo concertinas and use all three rows of buttons during any particular song. With the popular 40 button Wheatstone anglo one can play in all the twelve musical keys. Hello Mias,,,,,,,,,,,What Ben said above is still basically true. You could receive better assistance if you state your country of residence. Cheers, Zak.

Mikefule Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I just looked up "Boer Music" on Wikipedia. It starts with "A concertina is similar to an accordion." Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Declaring a concertina as a 'small accordion' when passing through customs, or importing one from another country, minimizes hassle and import duties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
