Summary: Dr. Steve's Review of Handbook for English Concertina
Review: The Handbook for English Concertina, by Roger Watson, is elementary, and takes you from the very introductory elements of first finding the notes positionally, and guides you through the scales one by one.

If you are a complete novice, as I was you will find this to be a great place to start. Having some musical background will enable you to play the songs in the this guide on a piano, or piano accordion and hear what they sound like. The book is simple, to the point, and certainly a marvelous place to begin the study of the English concertina. It is a short book, which in some respects is good - you know that you will reach completion in a short period of time giving you a feeling of achievement. TRY IT - YOU'LL LIKE IT!

Summary: Not very good, I'm afraid
Review: There are much better tutors for the English concertina out there than this, although it has to be said that these would have to be bought from the UK ...This reads to me like something knocked up in a weekend in order to earn a few bob from Hohner.
