Don't count on it...  I've been playing a concertina on-and-off since
'72 (and harmonicas since grade school in the early 60's) and *for me*
the musical part is easy - it is JUST LIKE playing a harp... HOWEVER
all my many years of harmonica playing make it near impossible for me
to sing...  I keep huffing and puffing as if I was playing a harp
while I'm squeezing the box....
