Forgetting the Anglo Concertina is not good!
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:59 am
I just this week learned a very severe lesson. If you have acquired basic skill on the Anglo Tina then it
really has to be kept going! If you stop for some years, as I did, then most of that know-how is gone!
Now relearning, with different fingerings, tunes I thought I had down! And to make it even more fun, the different reeds in my current study react differently, very unforgiving, like a good guitar, of clumsiness.
I like to keep it simple with cross row use of phrasing and keep entirely away from the heavy decoration found in Celtic. So I am very happy that I enjoy a little bit of Morris music as well. Indeed that was my main reason for getting back into the hobby.
Other lessons to be learned. If you can learn the basics of tuning your own rig! do it.
Today with Youtube free tutorials, it ain't as tough as you may have been misled to believe.
