I repaired satomi's Crabb concertina a little.
I removed the old bushings from the bushing boards. Then, I inserted the new ones into the key holes.
It took a whole day for me to replace all bushings because I'd never done it before.
Before
After
I'm glad that it plays better than before. 
I learned this set dance from The Final Round by Kevin Joyce. I think the A part has 5 bars and the B part also has 5 bars. The B part is repeated.
I played my wife's 38-key C/G Crabb concertina.
There is another set dance which has the same name. It's a good tune, too!
I learned this set dance from The Final Round by Kevin Joyce. The A part has only 6 bars and the B part has 10 bars.
This is a picture of the B&B where we stayed in Ennis in 2003.
I played my wife's 38-key C/G Crabb concertina.
I learned this tune from The Final Round by Kevin Joyce. It is an unusual tune which has only 15 bars. It's fun for me to play it!

It is responsive and has great low notes. She had enjoyed playing it for many years until she got a Suttner concertina.
P.S. I sold this concertina to my friend in 2014. I hope he enjoys playing it!
I learned these slides from Music For The Sets - the blue book compiled by David J Taylor. It makes me happy to play slides!
