Hank Jacobs - Chemnitzer Concertina - Milwaukee - January 2011

I took this video in January of 2011. At the time, I believe Hank was 92 years old. As you can see, he's still a fantastically talented player; a true master of the instrument. The concertina is a Karpek Supreme chemnitzer, tuned to Bb. Hank told me he worked with George Karpek when these concertinas were built in Milwaukee, most likely in the early 1970's. It was a real treat listening to Hank play that day.
