If you can teach mandolin, pennywhistle, uilleann pipes, highland pipes, accordion, concertina, fiddle or bodhran and live near cedar falls IA please reply. me, my brothers or my dad will probebly be interested.

I realley can't imagine it being any better. its got a great sound. all the buttons are in perfect working order, bellows are not overly stiff or loose. I enjoy playing it although it is very different from any other inst...

folk music changes and evolves, thats the nature of it. thats why I think the term ITM is kinda funny, what is considered ITM now was considered new and not traditional a couple decades ago. why would you want to play the same songs over and over whithout ever doing anything original anyway? someone...

well I got a rochelle, it will be here tuesaday . can't wait. in the mean time I borrowed a piano accordion from the neighborhood polka playing lady, and I think I'm hooked . so I guess play it all is the answer as it invariably is

wow not much goin on hear. anyway i'm about to buy a rochelle too. I hope to be playing in a pogues type band in the future and i would also appreciate any advice on micing concertinas. by the way what whistles do you have there tim?

The simple explanation is that with the half-step boxes like B/C or C#/D, you have every note available, so you can play in any key possible, just like a piano ------ thats a quote every note eh? so you can play in any key? what keys can a 30 button C/G anglo play in. what are the pros and cons of c...

the first time I played the whistle it was a feadog too. after two years of wondering how people could make nice music on those things I tried a different whistle and then I was hooked. I recomend getting a clark as your first whistle or an oak

vargas whistles seem pretty lagit. my brother just ordered one I guess we'll see how good they are in a week or so. website is http://vargaswhistles.com/webshop/htdocs/shop.html they have several keys of generation, D and C feadog, clark originals, walton mellow d's all for $35-45 with free shipping.

thanks for the great info guys. I've heard good things about these rochelles so maybe I'll go for one. do you chaps know of any free internet tutorials, there are not gonna be concertina teachers where I live (maybe accordian though)? and I would like something to show me the basics at least (I real...
