Low Price Johnson FI-120 Concertina 20 Button Anglo Style
I had a few problems with this item. The first button on the right keyboard was broken and rattling around loose when I got it. The people I bought it from (musician's friend) were very good about replacing it though. Now I have one that works, but some of the buttons on the left keyboard stick and others rub the buttons that stick. So I will have to open it up and do some work as R Wiltbank said in their review. I enjoy the instrument when it works right. It is very easy to transcribe music for, if you can find the sheet music.
Having 21 buttons (including the air valve) sounds like a lot but is nothing compared to the 22 frets and 6 strings of a guitar. 21 choices about where to put a finger vs. 132 with a guitar. Classic songs, sailor songs, old folk songs and even christmas carols sound interestingly different and can be learned but not mastered in the first 3 days of owning this item. I spent $100 and found out that the concertina is something I want to play. I would never ask more of a beginner's instrument. Sometimes the $5 harmonica isn't very shiny and doesn't work right, but it's always good enough to let you know if you like harmonica music or not.Get more detail about Johnson FI-120 Concertina 20 Button Anglo Style.
