Item Type: Tutor - English ConcertinaSummaryFull Description: ‘English’ Concertina Tutor: A later Oak Publications
“The Concertina; A handbook and Tutor for beginners on the English
Concertina”by Frank Butler. Oak Publications, originally
published by Neil Wayne at The Free Reed Press, Duffield, Derby,
England, in 1974, though when Free Reed Records entered a period of financial
decline in the 1980s, it was assigned to Oak to enable Frank’s great
tutor to remain available. This is arguably one of the best beginners’
tutors ever written, by one of the great movers and shakers of the continuing
revival of the concertina in the years after WW11. He was a founder of the
International Concertina Association, a noted teacher, and his
encouragement of Neil Wayne’s interest in the instrument during
the mid ’60s arguably led to the folk-based concertina revival in the
1960s, and to certain large collections of concertinas and related materials
being preserved for posterity. Original 1974 Free Reed edition at
