@@catstale883 I am so glad that my playing get you to start playing one. Thank you for thanking me, it means a lot and keeps me going. Learning by ear is a powerful way of learning these tunes, even more so as most of the folk tunes I played are of aural traditions themselves. I try to put up the sheetmusic lino but that is for more documenting purposes and because there are people who ask for it too (people have different ways). I recommend you to use 'play audio' feature in thesession.org. You can play the melody in MiDI and set the repeat and speed. Very useful in trying to learn the tune aurally. Have fun!

@@MinimumListenableProduct I did use the "play audio" feature to listen to it (I keep coming back over here though to hear your version, it is the best imo) but didn't realise I could adjust the speed and have it repeat. Thank you for tellng me that. It will help. However, I can adjust the speed here on your video on youtube and have figured out a lot that way. I guess we all have different ways of learning and this is working for me. Maybe others can learn this way too.

Thanks for your lovely comment!

Hey I'm so glad to be connected via our inspiring mutual friend Andy Rigby! Wish to visit in Bendigo one day. Happy holidays and have fun with English concertina! Wony

@@MinimumListenableProduct :) Lost Trades Fair is well worth going to, and I'll be definitely hunting out Andy to show him the new instrument. He knows me as Duncan the Shoemaker (retired). The Concertina's by Jabez Austin, who originally made reed pans for Charles Wheatstone before setting out on his own in 1850. 32 button, and took a great deal of work to clean all the verdegris off the brass reeds, at a friends clockmaking workshop, to get them all to work XD Thanks for the reply and Cheers

Oh thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you very much. This tune captivated me like that too when I first heard.

wow I am glad that I made some positive impact to your journey and also glad that we are taking the same path of self learning and this amazing instrument just intuitively let us tach ourselves. Never realised but that's right indeed, having no fourth makes Hayden playing so easier. Good observation - or good way to put it.

Thank you! It is about my 5th year into hayden concertina and you could check out some of the earlier videos in this channel to gauge how you could sound soon. Pretty much in a few days I was able to play some tunes I know by memory. There are always more to learn to play better but in my opinion the hayden system concertina is one of the easiest instruments that humans have ever invented. So I definitely encourage you to start - also Elise is a fine instrument.

I just got one for my 50th birthday a month and a half ago. I have a music background but not done anything serious with it for the last 3 decades, but I still got to the point of being able to play very quickly. If you have previous experience it'll click - the hard part for me is I have limited keyboard experience (mostly reed instruments) so I've also been teaching myself to play two different notes at the same time. If you have some previous skills you'll get it! One thing I'll say is I also got to the point very quickly where I realized the Elise is a beginner instrument. Be prepared for some "oh wow that reed sounds funny" and some tinkering and adjusting. It's also considerably louder than I was expecting.

@@fisharmor Thanks for adding your perspectives here. I am sure it will give a good idea on the Hayden learning experience for our future Hayden club members. I also has no experience in chord playing, just the basic theoretical knowledge. So learning a tune on Hayden for me is to start from playing a melody only on the right then to add simple chords on the left by hit and miss until it works okay.

그렇죠. 십년이 지나 해보니 그 새 좀 더 나아진 느낌입니다. 십 년 후에 또 해봐야겠어요.

Not a lot of Peacock playing on youtube. How exciting! Thanks for your feedback. I think one of the advantages of Hayden over the Anglo system is that the player can determine when to articulate and how much dynamics, which makes it easier to carry feeling.

Very kind of you. Your comment encourages me and keeps me practicing too!

Many many thanks

THANK YOU! Please share your some of your playing on Anglo. Welcome to the club!

THANK YOU!

Thanks dad!

Thank you so much for your comment. Agreed!

Hey long time. I am happy with the upgrade(trade-in). I was also happy with Elise and was in doubt if it is worth paying that much for 2-3 extra keys. For me yes. These additional few keys unlock several ‘scales’ that are actually used frequently e.g. A major and E major. That is a huge difference for me when I play with others. The size wasn’t the consideration but I am actually loving the small size of Troubdour. It now comfortably fits within large backpack or carry-on luggage. Sound wise, I want to believe it is better but it is not as obvious as other two improvements. So if I played G major all the time and no need to travel at all, I would be still happy with Elise.

Thanks for your reply. That’s really helped me with my decision. The Elise is nice but I do find some of those low basses pretty hard to “fire”. Looking forward to more of your vids! Great work you’re doing.

Glad you like it!

@@MinimumListenableProduct I do, I also appreciate the fact that you took the time to share your sheet music with the world. 🤠

thank you!

It is concertina connection in the U.S.

별말씀을 시간되실때 편하게 하심 되죠. 그나저나 같이 연주한지도 너무 오래됐네요. 언젠가 기회가 되길!

indeed a gem. Please play on your piano.

Thank you! how's your playing going?

I thank you!

Likewise Lunar, it's lovely to hear from you again. it has been ages!

thesession.org/tunes/12492 I have written down the bass note of the chords on lefthand side in the setting 3 of this tune in this webpage. See those alphabetical markings. I think I mostly stick yo the bass note only and occasionally adding 3rd and 5th. Hopefully it helps...

Thank you so much

really glad you liked the lead-in. this 'rondeau' type waltz has so much potential for a bit of improvised fun

glad it helped. indeed I saw your video months ago and it was immensely helpful. Great respect for makers of not commercially so popular instrument and yourself filming it. I think it helps more people know about their effort, nobility and credibility.

Thanks. Yes it is Elise. I probably sound better that I actually do because I have recorded right and left hand part separately. As you can imagine, that way has a benefit of being able to control the dynamics and articulation of each part independently as intended.

Thank you and I recommend your daughter to pick up Hayden duet concertina which would make immediate sense to accomplished piano players who are experts at using two hands to play two independent parts.

Thanks and welcome to the Concertina world! Indeed complicated and Sometimes I feel like playing just two notes G and D to support other musicians. Why not!

오 저도 좋아하는데. 대항해시대 음악을 녹음해봐야겠어요!

Thanks!

lol Thanks!

Thank you! I don't care much about cosmetics and don't mind cheap/non-trad materials and so on as long as sound is good, so I would have definitely considered if Elise came with such settings (with few more bucks).

Thanks!

Hey thanks. Yes unfortunately there are only handful makers of Hayden system globally and Australia is usually not the most advantageous place to get those instruments made overseas. The instrument you see in this video Elise is the cheapest one and it is okay. Since it is below AUD1000 you can simply order internationally without having to pay GST. It will not arrive tomorrow though.

​@@MinimumListenableProduct​I see, thanks so much for the info! I guess I'll take a gamble and try it out, thankyou
