Substitute for Concertina?

Postby idiotSavant » Thu Dec 26, 2013 1:53 pm

I'm working on a piece with a part for an English Baritone Concertina. Any suggestions on where to find a sample for this unusual instrument? According to Wikipedia, an American Reed Organ is close, but that doesn't help a whole lot since I don't have a reed organ either.

I'm using bassoon right now transposed down an octave for a stand-in.

Michael,

Garritan's Jazz & Big Band library contains an Accordion sample with a limited range. It may just be useable as a Concertina. Below is a screenshot of its range and the audio file for your information. The JABB package can be used by selecting, say, Organ, from the GPO sound set and then changing the playback sound in the Aria player.

Best,
Thorrild
