Can anybody tell me the name of the waltz that Pip Ives plays to demonstrate the Dino Baffetti

I am just assuming it's Pip playing

Fab tune. It's "The Man In The Moon" originally recorded from the playing of Scan Tester (anglo concertina) by Mervyn Plunkett in Cinder Hill, Sussex, 1957.
These details gleaned from Barry Callaghan's excellent book "Hardcore English" (published byEFDSS 2007)

Nice playing, Pip.

Yes, the waltz was clearly instrumental in getting me to buy the box! I try terribly hard to disassociate the skilled playing (or otherwise) in these demo videos, but it's hard. I'm going 'now, think objectively about the sound of each note and the way the sound all fits together' and my hind-brain is going 'that just sounds *great*'.

   oh my goodness that looks like whole different language! what have I let myself in for?
Still, if my sister can understand all those diagrams for bellringing, I can decipher that ... I hope

You need Lester's handy guide to ABC which you can find at http://info.melodeon.net/info/abc

Well it's easier to understand than Bob doubles, not to mention Cambridge major!  My other half is tower captain at the village church and I, for my sins, am steeple keeper. I don't understand bellringing as such; less still the desire to make anything tuneful from swinging a job lot of old metal around in an unpredictable arc. I do however know how to oil a plain bearing, something that is apparently is beyond the ken of the average commuter. 

ABC is an entirely different thing. A simple, text based language that's easily learned and once the basics are mastered you will be able to print out beautiful scores with little effort. So make my day and admit that with all the might of the internet at your disposal you still can't figure out how to make letters into tadpoles...

Alison's timely intervention should give you a clue ...

[Ancient Muse]

Thanks for the advice both - I am gradually working my way through the website - all fascinating stuff I have to say.
I am going to take it very slowly.

Nowt complicated about bob doubles, cambridge major on the other hand.....

It was man in the moon. Being a sussex lad a know quite a few of scan testers tunes. I thought I'd put the name of the tune on there. Maybe not- I'll go and edit it!

[melodyman]

Of course -Scan Tester's "Man in the Moon"
I new I had the tune in my head
Obviously one of my senior moments.
Did anybody else notice how many of us have our 50 something birthdays in June.
