[edit] Difference between Anglo and Bandonion
someone can tell me what is the difference between anglo-concertina and bandonion. both are bisonoric...
- The Anglo is smaller and generally has only one reed for each tone, the button layout is substantially different, and the internal construction is usually quite different. Both instruments did evolve from Uhlig's German Concertina along with the Chemnitzer. The Bandoneón (the prefered spelling now) is much closer to the Chemnitzer Concertina in size, shape, and manufacture. Between those two types, the largest difference is with the button layout.
[edit] Link to concertina wire
I have added a link to the "concertina wire" article at the top of this entry. The wire is sometimes referred to simply as concertina, and frankly I suspect that more people are familiar with the wire than the instrument. I'd like some feedback on this decision if anyone has any thoughts about it.Lamont A Cranston 21:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- I had never heard of the wire until I read this - though I had heard of the instrument. I think the dablink at the top of the article is fine. DuncanHill 23:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Possibly useful image
I took this; I think it's a good picture, but I have no clear sense of whether it would be a useful addition to the article, so I leave it to someone else to make the call. - Jmabel | Talk 20:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- This may be more useful for Chemnitzer concertina than here.--Theodore Kloba 15:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] About the structure
The structure was changed to group English and German concertinas together in what seems a more sensible way, considering their respective historical development. The order is roughly chronological, as well. The Anglo is difficult to qualify as either German or English since it has many of the features of each broader type -- diatonic like most German concertinas (and, in origin, it was the Germanic Ur-concertina), with reeds and action characteristic of most English models. Including the Anglo under either of the other groups does not seem to be appropriate. I could be wrong, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.157.15.232 (talk) 03:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
