Handbook for Anglo-Chromatic Concertina Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is priced as it is, I assume, due to the obscurity of the subject matter. There are several pages, outlining the history of the concertina, some tips on playing and concertina care, which one can find on the Web for free.
There are two pages of useful chord diagrams. These are only useful if you play the 30 button Anglo. Those of us (beginners) who purchased a (cheaper) 20 button are out of luck on those. The same can be said about the fingering chart provided.
Therefore, I think he should have titled this thin tome, "Handbook for the 30 Button Anglo-Chromatic Concertina".
Then, there are 10 songs printed out. One can do better than that, especially for songs in the public domain.
If someone is serious about finding tunes, they can be found in various web pages or in actual compilations of music that have more songs than this one. Given that concertinas are used for folk songs, one can find large compilations of tunes in the public domain. Also, one can just learn to play by ear.
