Book Overview

The Jeffries Duet is an exceedingly rare type of concertina, with a keyboard many find to be "logic-defying" and "indecipherable". But no more! This tutor will show you how to make sense of your Jeffries Duet and quickly be able to play a wonderful variety of tunes with full accompaniments.

Invented in the late 1890's by English concertina maker Charles Jeffries, the Jeffries Duet is the ideal "portable pub piano" for playing and accompanying folk, classical, music hall, Gilded-Age, Tin Pan Alley, church hymns and old popular songs from days gone by.This tutor includes over 60 tunes along with a unique tablature system showing both standard music notation along with note pitches in abc notation.

Every tune also has a Button Map showing exactly which buttons are needed to play that particular tune. Plus, many tunes include QR code links to videos so you can see and hear how they are played.Now, you too can recreate the delightful fairground organ sound of the Jeffries Duet at full steam with "octaves in the right and fistfuls of chords in the left"!
