There was a time when a concertina was almost mandatory equipment for a Salvation Army officer. In the instrument's heyday, between the turn of the century and the Second World War, between a third and a half of all officers in Britain played it. Here is a recording by Adjutant Bramwell Thornett called "Concertina solo -- Glory to God in the Highest". It was recorded in 1940 and was issued on Regal Zonophone record No MF292. http://www.concertina.info/tina.faq/images/salv.htm http://www.davidthornett.co.uk/
