Up close and personal with my concertina!

Well, I’ve been obsessed with concertinas since 2004 and last year I finally received my Dipper concertina, the Holy Grail of concertinas. I did a small webpage with pictures of the concertina, and thought I’d share it with the whole world! (we all know the whole world browses Chiff & Fipples quite often).

I hope you’ll like my baby!

she is lovely :smiley:

I admire anybody who takes on an instrument like the Concertina…tricky thing to be holding.

The Reels were nice..at one point in the Jig, I heard a grand tune trying to break out.

I’ve always felt that the Concertina was invented for Hornpipes.


Stick with it.

Slan,
D. :wink:

Yeah the concertina is such a challenge, I could play whistle relatively nicely after three years, but I still feel shaky on the concertina after five years. Most of my tunes feel like they’re trying to break out :slight_smile: Right now, I am satisfied if I can manage to play a tune through keeping a good, steady rhythm. This thing is so mecanical.

You are right, hornpipes on concertinas are the best!

Really lovely. I’m considering trying to learn concertina but it seems rather daunting.

:thumbsup:

Looks nice! I love the concertina. I wish I had the time, patience, and money to have a go at it myself.

Very nice! I should have mine within the next few months…
