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 one recording by Brigadier Archie Burgess and Adjutant Eric Ball called "Concertina solo -- A Salvation Medley". It was recorded in 1936 and was issued on Regal Zonophone record No MF269. http://www.concertina.info/tina.faq/images/salv.htm http://www.davidthornett.co.uk/
