- So you have a concertina but what type is it? Not all concertinas are the same. This short video tells you all you need to know. I have tutorials available on my website for both Anglo and English concertina.

Man I missed that chance when my grandpa litterally has an accordion and I was a baby at that time and didn't even know how to play it but now I do.
Thank you very much! I was thinking of learning to play and wanted to better understand the differences between the different types of concertinas!
Glad it was helpful!
The 130 Key Chemnitzer Concertina that Albert Nechanicky invented is basically a bigger version of the Anglo-Chromatic
This helped my out so much! Thank you very much for the video!
Great info! Thank you from Buenos Aires!
Thanks! My friend recommended me this, and this was really helpful
Glad it helped!
Very helpful, thanks!
Thanks, great video.
Thank you very much for your demonstration and explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Imagine hand straps that do not go to the thumb screws, but instead up and around your neck down and connected to the other hand strap.
That way they will tighten around your hands automatically.
I've been playing the Anglo concertina for 4 years now lol
Good information
That Anglo looks like it was made by Frank Edgley in Windsor, Canada. I have one of his now. love it.
It is!
I one I had when I was a child was a five button consertina
which concertina would be better for more energetic songs like drunken sailor or some songs from a game called sea of thieves
The anglo!
thanks :D
Cheers for this! (Now know I had a 20-button Anglo... this would have been great to know at the time). Curious, do you have a preference to play yourself? Ta again!
At the moment I'm getting into the Hayden duet concertina but really, I like them all!!
Donde la puedo comprar y una recomendación de marca
With looking at trying my hand at a new instrument, it what would you recommend for learning? It appears the anglo 20 button can play most of the music I would like to play. Are there any other things I should take into account when looking for a concertina?
English is best for just playing tunes with no accompaniment. The anglo is best for playing tunes with accompaniment. 30 button anglo gives you more options with both the tune and the backing. 20 button anglo is great for simple folk tunes.
What brand of anglo are you using in that video? I've been trying to track that specific one down for a while without any luck so any name or link would be much appreciated!
It's a Frank Edgley. Frank is Canadian and still makes them. They do come up used from time to time on concertina.net
@@daddylongles cool! I got a Rochelle for starting off, but I've looked at Frank's website a lot and really wish I had 5k for one lol. I think I'll check concertina.net a bit for them and see if I can find any that I can afford. Thanks for the advice!
What do you think, if I want to accompany myself singing Slavic and Klezmer folk , which is usually quite "sad" minoric - 20b Anglo would be enough?
No, I think you would need a 30 button instrument. Sorry!
Which kind is used in South African boermusiek?
what kind of anglo are you playing? wonderful video!
Hi Claire - Thanks! The English concertina is a very old Lachenal and the Anglo is made by Frank Edgley from Canada.
Which kind is easier to learn how to play? I would like to learn Irish tunes and sea shanties.
Anglo is better for your choice of music but it's harder to learn than the English concertina in my opinion.
what are common brands of English concertinas? thanks
Budget : Jackie, Wren, Stagi Intermediate: Marcus, Morse, Lachenal, Edgley High End: Jeffries, Wheatstone, Dipper This is a general guide! I use Jackie and Marcus English concertinas. There are other makes!
For an absolute beginner, what type do you recommend?
English is definitely easier!
I already play guitar and piano but have never tried an instrument with buttons and bellows. I'm now debating whether to go out and buy a concertina.
@@daddylongles I prefer the English.
Are English, & Anglo concertinas usually chromatic?
English are fully chromatic and anglo are diatonic with some accidentals.
I want to buy a concertina but I have no idea where, can anyon help?
