Soloduet

Since 2015 I'm exploring different instruments made with the same Wicki keyboards. I began with a Wicki/Hayden duet concertina, and in 2021 I ordered a striso duet prototype to Piers Titus van der Torren, the inventor of the striso board (striso.org). 
In 2022 I received the first bandotin designed and made by Harry Geuns in Belgium (bandoneon-maker.com). The bandotin is an hybrid instrument made with the reeds system of a bandoneon and the keyboard of a Wicki concertina. With this keyboard the scales and chords are played in all the keys with the same fingerings, which makes it more intuitive. Thereby this system is also easier for transposition and improvisation.
