Peter Trimming Shows: Scales in the key of C

Peter Trimming shows scales of C on a C/G Anglo concertina.

Scales demonstrated begin with the bellows being compressed.

Note: this instrument has additional buttons. On a 30 button instrument, the start note falls directly under the index finger.

I couldn't quite see what button you were pressing sometimes. Are you using the 1st and second row?

I'm showing three different fingerings, which were:

(1) Along the C [middle row] row.

(2) and (3) using a combination of C [middle row] and G [inside row] rows.

Using the two different rows is what we refer to as "cross row" playing. It should open up more options for chords/counter melody on the left hand. Playing along the rows can sound fine, but, I feel, is more limiting.

You'll note that on most of my videos, I'm playing with only the first three fingers on each hand.

thank you :)
