Concertinas and Accordians.

We have some evidence, however, that you may have to pay for the reeds.

Concertinas and Accordians.

Post by irishangel »

Quick question:

What are the main differences between a Concertina and a box?

I have a piano box, and can fiddle about with a button box, but my skills would be well rusty!

Are they very different? How easy is it to play a concertina?

Just wondering!

Very easy. How do I know? Azalin got a tina at the same time I got a box and after two years he can play much better than I can.

Others will probably have a more useful analysis for you. :D

Be warned however: decent concertinas are generally harder to get hold of and considerably more expensive than decent button accordions.
