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!
Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand very well the difference between the two concertinas. but I have a doubt. Yes I want to play some instrumental tangos and others sung. What would be my best option? Anglo or English? I look forward to your response, I really want to buy it and start practicing.
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.
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!
@@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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Great info! Thank you from Buenos Aires!
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
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.
The 130 Key Chemnitzer Concertina that Albert Nechanicky invented is basically a bigger version of the Anglo-Chromatic
Thanks! My friend recommended me this, and this was really helpful
Glad it helped!

That Anglo looks like it was made by Frank Edgley in Windsor, Canada. I have one of his now. love it.
It is!

Thanks for the video! A viking gave me a concertina and I'm gonna figure out how to play a song for them.

It's a Frank Edgley. Frank is Canadian and still makes them. They do come up used from time to time on concertina.net

Donde la puedo comprar y una recomendación de marca
I've been playing the Anglo concertina for 4 years now lol
Thank you very much for your demonstration and explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
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!
what are common brands of English concertinas? thanks

Are English, & Anglo concertinas usually chromatic?
English are fully chromatic and anglo are diatonic with some accidentals.
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.
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.
