Concertina

ily :D

great!

Very, Very nice! :D

from all i've read and heard from history books and folk musicians, the diatonic concertina (which produces two notes for each individual button, depending on the direction of the bellows, like a harmonica) is referred to as an "Irish concertina" - on the "Anglo concertina" or "English Concertina" each button produces the same note regardless of the direction of the bellows.

most commonly now, anglo is the one often referred to as irish, is diatonic. only English is the chromatic one

That's wrong.

The "Anglo concertina" has 2 rows (i.e. G/C)
The "Anglo-German concertina" aka Anglo-chromatic or "Anglo-Irish" has 3 rows (i.e. G/C + extra notes).

Both have a different note when you push and when you pull (just like an harmonica, same origin).

The "English concertina", aka "Duet concertina", produces the same note when you pull and when you push.

I was wrong about the Duet. It's a different system, that combines Anglo and English, to keep it simple.

There are three types of Concertina. In order, oldest first starting in 1844...
English Concertina...
Anglo German/Anglo Concertina...
Duet Concertina...
There is no "Irish" concertina, however the Anglo system is most frequently used in "Irish" traditional music.
The common mistake of adding an "Irish" prefix to concertina is like English folk musicians adopting the Ulean Pipes to play Morris or sword dance tunes and calling them English pipes!

Absolutely rocking!
