#concertina — Public Fediverse posts

By the way: it's Bandcamp Friday today, so go and purchase your wishlisted albums!

My warm recommendation this time is "Bird Songs" by Miranda Rutter. Inspired by birds and dotted withh beautiful snippets of field recordings, it feels like an hommage to our avian friends. A delightful album that made me laugh and cry. A beautiful match for spring time 🐦

@soundclamp
That’s great stuff about the “spicy unison” buttons tuned to the same note but slightly different so you can hear the sound beating in the recording

That’s the kind of thing I tend to do when I sit down with an instrument. My guilty secret is I can’t really play the accordion, I just play other people doing it on the radio

But I’ve built up an ear and the curiosity to mess about like this for hours

Oh thank you 🙏🏼

Electronic #Concertina what a treat 🎛️

I’ll have to write and ask what kind of concertina she plays and more of her story

There’s a picture here but no details

@miguelpergamon @EricIndiana
Everybody interested in #concertina and #accordion history should get Dan’s book

The Anglo-German concertina : a social history
(Don’t miss that there’s a vol 1 & 2)

He’s made it available for free on the #InternetArchive
https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_1-thWE5XRmsC 📚

But it’s worth having a physical copy, which have only ever been available POD, unfortunately on Amazon

Prototype of a split keyboard from around 1850 made by Sir Charles Wheatstone, inventor of the English concertina! 🪗

Let’s recommend some records for #BandcampFriday

First nudge would be a diatonic #Accordion band from Madrid called La Concertina 🪗😂

The artist Jeremy Wakefield was kind enough to let me use his 16 Horsepower Chemnitzer #concertina illustration in the “Pirates Never Played #Accordion Because It Hadn’t Been Invented Yet” section of my #AccordionRevolution book 🏴‍☠️🚫 🪗
http://AccordionRevolution.com

David Eugene Edwards' legendary band 16 Horsepower reunite for a 2026 European tour and one US festival

For the first time in over 20 years, the original 3 members David Eugene Edwards, Jean-Yves Tola, and Pascal Humbert will be playing together (with Chuck French, the guitarist from David EE’s band Wovenhand)

#Concertina player Rainer Süßmilch came up while planning tonight's @accordionnoir show, and I didn't have any info on him

Searching found this great spooky clip:

Althorn Musik-Trailer für "Play Auerbach" von Avishai Milstein, Uraufführung am 4.12. an den Münchner Kammerspielen, Regie Sandra Strunz

Outstanding. Hope to hear more

Will play a quite different solo number from a while ago on tonight's episode

@Gabriel1977
Was it Gardel who they used to put on photos inside bandoneones?

Or I think it was a player?

#Tango #bandoneon #concertina #accordion

That was Irish bass #concertina player Cormac Begley

Doing his acoustic bit on the #ListeningClub
https://cormacbegley.bandcamp.com/album/b

@saucer
I submitted a couple of heavy #accordion and #bass #concertina tracks to this week’s #ListeningClub

Which I might have hinted at (but not played) on this week’s episode of @accordionnoir radio

So some vague spoilers but only enough to get you ready for Sunday

And oh my gosh, have I got a record for next week. Should be a hoot

Hey we just played #CormacBegley on our @accordionnoir radio show last night!

We haven’t got that new record yet though. Looks like a must

Nice version of the “Popeye” tune included in this historic number:

“Nautical airs”

Un live magnifique de #Lankum, un genre d'#irish post rock avec des instruments trads : #concertina, #violon, #borderpipe, #harmonium et des voix magnifiques :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnU0EV9JoVY

L'histoire du groupe est aussi très intéressante, un passé plutôt punk et un engagement pro palestinien qui leur a valu l'annulation d'un concert en Allemagne en novembre 2023.

A little more progress in the new studio today. I spent the morning searching through boxes and cupboards trying to find some guitar hangers which I knew I had somewhere. Finally managed to find them and put them up this afternoon, so I've got space to downsize from an 8-guitar rack to a 5-guitar rack, and make some space for some of my diatonic accordions.

I wish I had one of those streamlined ones

My broken Chemnitzer #concertina looks just like a #bandoneon

#accordion

@btrinen @neverbeaten @Phil
Chemnitzers turn up in the Upper-Midwestern United States in #polka bands where they were even manufacturing them after the 1890s-1940s (guessing) German supply dried up

The Midwestern ones got quite radical. You don’t see many tangueros playing these:

The #Accordion #font by Dr H Fontricks
https://www.fontspace.com/accordion-font-f14836

Who was quite amused when I wrote to ask permission to use it a decade after its release for a joke

It’s a font of accordion (or #organ) register switch symbols that resemble little ninja emoticons

I’ve made buttons for #tango players

They play a big square #concertina called a #Bandoneón

No one will ever get this joke

I haven’t put them in my Etsy shop with our other 🪗 🥷 badges yet
