  • Very nice, lots of soul in it.

  • Wow. Thanks so much for playing the baritone. I got a Jack not too long ago because I loved the sound and now you give me something to shoot for.

  • Hey, your welcome.

    By the way, my Baritone weighs 2041g!

    I guess your Jack comes in at a 'friendlier weight! ;-)

    Good Luck to you.

    I wish you many happy hours playing.

    Cheers

    Dick

  • "something to shoot for."

    Hey, better that, than me & my playing giving you something to SHOOT AT! :-)

  • Hi Dick, the baritone sounds wonderful, so rich. Are you missing the Jeffries yet?

    Best wishes

  • Hi Martyn,

    Yes indeed, it was a bit of a wrench, parting with it, but I had a few tunes in Hughes, Dublin, with its new owner, so I know it has gone to a good home ... & a much better player too, so I'm happy about that.

    Cheers

  • Such a difference in tone compared with an instrument of higher pitch. Sounds good!

  • Aye Peter, I guess there's a time & a place for all sizes of Concertina.

    Somehow, sitting in front of a real fire of a Winters evening, playing the Baritone just feels so right!

    On the other hand of course, maybe it's just my age! :-)

    Cheers

  • Great Dick -

    And I think Scot's Fiddler Willie Hunter,,

    Made an old LP- With this tune as the Title.

    '' Lerwick Harbour '' Is the front cover Pic,,

    LOVELY STUFF - DICK..

  • Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed it.

    Ah Willie Hunter, now there was a master of the Slow Air.

    Broughshane Fiddle maker, the late Sam Stevenson, always swore that nobody could play a slow air like Willie.

    Unfortunately, I just don't think it's possible to get the same poignancy with a Concertina, as some can with a Fiddle.

    Sadly, the only tears anyone is likely to shed when I play, will be because of my vast ineptitude! :-(

    Cheers

  • That is a beautiful sounding concertina. Thanks for making it sing for us.

  • Thanks Jeff, I'm glad you like it.

    I must admit, I feel very honoured to be its new custodian.

    I just hope that in time, I can learn to do it the justice, it so richly deserves.

    It certainly takes a bit of adjustment, when going from my TT to this big beastie! :-)

    Cheers

    Dick
