1'18" Simon Thoumire on the EC

[Deleted member 48]

With Ian Carr on guitar, a Skye concert on YT.
Simon Thoumire, what a talent and an ambassador for the charming English Concertina.

This video showing different music styles and effects. What a fine concertina sound.
A Wheatstone aeola?

This video?


I didnt think there were any eight sided English concertinas other than Aeolas, but I see Wim Wakker at Concertina Connection is now making one. Id guess Simon Ss is a Wheatstone.

Thank you Tom, this is the video.
I also guess a Wheatstone aeola.

Lachenal also had a top concertina, called the edeophone.

I also found another Thoumire video with fancy shirt and matching identical tie, but can't find it for the moment. That video also had a very sweet concertina sound. Can be steel or brass reeds inside ECs.

And the 2011 YT video in Arseguel. Magic moments for 9'15".

The player, his shirts and his unique playing technique, it's perfect.

'eight sided English concertinas '
I had an octagonal Anglo made for me by Crabb's in the early 70s.
It was a Model 7A and I think the model number may have followed the Wheatstone numbering(?)
