Tom Senekal is probably the best "Boer Concertina" player in South Africa. The Boer Concertina is a 20 button concertina manufactured in South Africa for about $800.00. The builder is Danie Labuschagne. The Boer Concertina is an improved version of the Scholer concertina originally made in Klingenthal, Germany. The bellows are made of leather as opposed to the Scholer's paper bellows.

Tom plays the Boer concertina just as well as he plays and Wheatstone anglo.

Ek woon in Toronto, Kanada maar gaan elke jaar RSA toe vir 'n besoek. Richard van Schalkwyk van Pretoria ken al die groot manne en oomies en hy is meer as gewilling om my rond te vat en voor te stel aan die oomies.

Al die "tunes" het Afrikaanse name maar ek vertaal die name sodat die buitelanders dit kan verstaan en ook meer belangstel in Boeremusiek.

Daar is baie talent onder ons mense.

Groetnis,

Ben Otto
