Oh, this is a lovely video!! Thanks so much for posting it! My dad just gave me his old melodeon (which I think he got from an old friend). He didn't play it, and it took me several years of wheedling to get him to let me have a go at it! So, this will be a BIG change from tin whistle (which I've played for 30+ years), and between you and wikipedia I think I've got a good start on it at least! :) Thanks so much for posting this. It has really, really, helped get the basics down!
Thanks so much for your lovely words. I have played various tunes on this style of melodeon as you can see on some of the videos on the right - Have fun. Hector.
