Japie Laubscher

Japie Laubscher (1919–1981[1]) was a concertina player for Boeremusiek in South Africa. Per Denis-Constant Martin: "[he] used a singular kind of tremolo, akin to the characteristic vibrato of langarm saxophonists that, according to Vincent Kolbe, may originate in the fiddle traditions of Cape Town (Nixon 1997:21)".[2]
