EnglitinaXL-English Concertina

I've been playing the Anglo concertina for over a year, and I was curious about the English system. This is a wonderful stand-in for the real thing by allowing you to see and hear the note layout and how the right and left hands work together. Highly recommended!

I play the English concertina. This app is a lot of fun and is a great stand in for the real thing. I strongly recommend it for the concertina-curious and for players who want a quiet way to practice. I have had the app for a couple of years now. I use it on my iPad 2. It has never frozen, and has great sound. It is easy to use, although the English Concertina is a challenge to learn, this nice app can give you a head start. I contacted the developer once and received a prompt, friendly response. I suspect all of Eskin's apps are of a similar caliber because of his attention to detail and apparent love of traditional music. Thank you! Excellent!

Who would have thought there would be an English Concertina app floating around out there? I can't afford a real concertina yet, so when I found this for such a low price, I didn't even have a second thought. As of this morning, I've just finished picking out the notes of some old favorite songs and am starting to get used to the fingering of this instrument. Hopefully, by the time I get a real concertina, I will just have to learn how to work the bellows. :D

This is about the best English concertina simulator I can imagine. On the iPad Pro the buttons come out very close to the correct distances apart, and the layout works well for thanks in a typing position. Sound is great.
