The Concertina hornpipe

There is also a tune called “The Concertina Reel” which, I believe, is one of Will Harmon’s favourite tunes. 🙂

And now a nice daggy hornpipe to add to the Concertina set. Perhaps Ahtoll Highlanders is also known as the Concertina Jig?
Sigh. 🙂

As this is Wheatstone weekend, with Sir Charles Wheatstone’s birthday being celebrated tomorrow, the 6th, I had a wee go at this Hornpipe today … on my Wheatstone Concertina, of course. 🙂
