Stephen Chambers Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hi John, I guess you mean a 30 key (not 30 note) G/D anglo? Dave, I don't suppose John is aware that there are two conventions for counting the notes on Anglo and German (Chemnitzer etc.) concertinas. In English-speaking cultures it is normal to count the number of keys, whilst in ones with German roots they count the notes, so that a 30-key concertina may sometimes be referred to as a 60-note one.

Gan Ainm Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) ...whilst in ones with German roots they count the notes... and sometimes, they count the reeds! A German concertina described as 80-reed (or 90-reed), is, with two reeds per note (and three for the lower notes), actually a 20-key instrument. Also, the German convention is to put the inside row first, so a G/D in anglo terminology is a D/G German terminology, a C/G in anglo is a G/C, etc. And then of course, the German scale goes: C, D, E, F, G, H, C - the letter B is used for B-flat Edited May 31, 2009 by Gan Ainm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
