Concertinas

Concertinas For Sale – The Anglo System is a diatonic concertina that’s typically tuned to C/G and used for playing Morris dance, Irish music and to accompany shanties. Each button produces a different note on the push and pull. High notes are on the right-hand, low on the left, and you can play a tune with the right hand and vamp chords with the left. The English System is a chromatic concertina that is most commonly found in the key of C and is mainly used for traditional English folk music. Each button plays the same note on both push and pull, and the scale comes by alternating notes from each end of the instrument, which makes it easy to play fast runs. This system tends to suit players who read music as the buttons line up exactly with written music with the stave lines on the left hand and spaces on the right  If you have any questions or require more information, please don’t hesitate to call us on 01524 410202 or email sales@promenademusic.co.uk – Back to All Folk and World Instruments.
