by Frank Converse
An extremely well-written method for 20-key, German-style concertina. One of the best books of its kind available. Written in the key of C.
The Concertina was invented in England by Mr Charles Wheatstone m the year 1827. For many years it has been played "by ear" to provide music for simple affairs such as picnics, parties and square dancing. The true value and importance of this instrument has never been fully developed until recent times. All instruction books thus far available have been of the most elementary type.
It is the author's aim and expectation that the course presented, will make a significant breakthrough for the Concertina into the world of music.
This book was designed especially for you, the beginner, whether the novice or the advanced player. It will provide hours of pleasure, and at the same time, advancement to the classics.
Have fun!

I read about sistrums in a fantasy adventure book and had to have one! Lark listed one I could afford that combines old crafting techniques with bottle caps! The delivery was quick. I played around with it and was surprised at all the different chimes and riffs it could make. Right now it is displayed with my also-African-made soda can lion. I'm happy!
Nice sound
This was my first ever Hardanger, so I basically wanted a "Squier" version of a Hardanger: an entry level Hardanger to learn on that was new and solid but wouldn't break the bank. This has been pretty much perfect and just what I wanted.I love playing it.
Beautiful amazing instrument! Easy and fun to play! Highly recommended! Great customer service and fast shipping!!
Jackie arrived, nicely packed and in rapid order... much lighter than I expected, thank goodness as the instrument is attached to the player by their thumbs (and mine are kind of old).
I never thought that it would be so challenging for me to learn play ... so different from anything I've tried before... I can feel the neurons in my brain sparking and protesting. Actually, it feels good to build new pathways. The cat is none too pleased with my new endeavor. However, Jackie is a beautiful instrument, well made and of good quality. I'm sure, in time, we'll become the best of friends.
Thanks to all at Lark in the Morning for making my experience so pleasant and trouble free. <3
