Hi Cathy, I like your videos very much, you play brilliantly, and this being such quick music, and with so nice ornamentation! I am very impressed also that you play so well on such a relatively small-sized melodeon. I have a small melodeon too and would like to know, please, if you had any alteration done on your melodeon in order to be able to play so fast, or if it came like that from factory. I dream of some day being able to play like that! Thanks a lot, and best wishes from Spain!

Hi,

I'm glad you like my music. My melodeon is a Castagnari Tommy, made in Italy, and I have never made any alterations to it, I'm very happy with it as I bought it. Good luck with your melodeon playing,

Cathy

[RovinBoozers]

Nice, thanks.

Great job!

Trip to sligo sounded amazing.

Is that a castagnari? If so what model?

[cathycook1]

Thanks ClerikZ34, you're right it is a Castagnari, model Tommy.

love the ascending legato passage in last 2 bars of the a-part of trip to sligo. so much different on a quint box than a half-step. more musicians should try both systems. thanks.

Nice one, Cathy !

Were you playing melodeon wile you were still at Dingle's ? I only remember you on fiddle.

[cathycook1]

hello Pete,

I started learning melodeon while Dingle's was still going, and I'm sure I did start playing it there at some point.
