This was very helpful. Thanks. I’ve learned a few tunes on the concertina but am still trying to get a handle on the chords and the actual note names in order to do so. I never figured out the octaves, and all that awesome stuff. Thank you, I’m a bit mind blown :)
I have the idea that the CG Anglo is widely used for Irish music, much of which is in the key of D. But neither the C nor the G major scale has a C#, so how is it possible to play in the key of D? I get that the note is on the 3rd row, but don't a lot of people use the 2-row model for Irish music?

Very useful stuff, Les. Many thanks for your posts, and all the best.
Very helpful, may I ask what this concertina brand? It sounds great and looks good. Thanks!
It's a Frank Edgley instrument made in Canada. Glad you found this helpful.
Thank you - that helped me a lot. I need to practice the scales and chords.

Short version is no, people pretty much only use the 30 button for Irish music today. The concertina wasn’t traditionally used in Irish music.
Why do some button diagrams have numbers and ' " next to the note letters?
I guess because some people like to use numbers and some like to know the actual notes they are playing.
