Why thankee Griff! I have a couple of vintage instruments which I'll get round to posting at some point ... they're fab, too!

Why wait, eh? This one's about 100 years old (apart from the hand-straps):

Since 1999. What you see before you is a concertina, an "Anglo-German" concertina (there are many systems and you don't want to get me started on all that ). It's basically a couple of harmonicas stuck together and bellows- (rather than lungs-) operated.

I LOVE that instrument.
Do you have the Dan Zane's sea shanty CD? If you want it I'll mail it to you.
I also knew a guy that had one that I am buying. He passed away not too long ago (I miss him a LOT). Sailorman was a very hip, no-bullshit, kinda' guy who taught me a lot of what I knew about pipes and pipe smoking. I try to keep his legacy alive. His music (I have heard it on-line) is cool.

No one was impressed with my jaw-harp chops...

Why thank you for your enthusiasm - whether for my own instrument or the concertina in general . I don't know the music of Dan Zane and I'd be grateful if you're serious about sending me a CD - doesn't seem to be available over here. Does it have much concertina stuff on it? Are you buying your late friend's concertina? Do you play?

Dan Zanes was a member of the Del Fuegos a decade or two ago. He now makes a very good living doing children's music. It's the only children's music I've heard (besides maybe Peter Paul and Mary) that is good for adults too. He's pretty talented and fun.
