Just rewatching these with my boys and it's really struck me how amazing it is that you can set these up slightly differently and your brain somehow remembers where everything is on each one. I've seen you rapidly switching melodions on stage and now appreciate your genius even more!
I'm really enjoying this advent calendar. This one was particularly interesting to me as I recently acquired a Hohner Amati IIIB (rescued from a house clearance) which I haven't a hope of being able to learn (I'm still very early stages on the melodeon). But it's a lovely looking instrument and it's fascinating to see what can be done with a chromatic button accordeon like this. Also loved the Bellowhead concert on Saturday.

Lovely sweet sound from this box and really interesting to have a tour around its innards! Thank you for these videos, they're really interesting!
Thanks for these! Loving the theme tune.
This man is a genius. These vids are such a treat.
