PLAY LIST OF COMMON TUNES

Most Celtic tunes were written for a specific instrument. Not every tune plays well on the concertina. Hornpipes are especially suited for the concertina. Jigs usually adapt fairly well. Reels can be problematic on the concertina, so there are not many listed here. Below is a list of tunes that are popular and adapt well to the concertina.
