just starting to learn about melodeons before i start the journey of buying and learning. a diatonic c/f is what i am now considering for a love of the sound and they seem to suit singing better. beautiful playing.
In the midst of a 24-hours which has largely sucked, this music--which we'll play After--is helping me regain a small modicum of sanity. Thanks, Derek!
That is one beautiful instrument; that suited those tunes, Your playing and interpretation was music to my ears . Loved the Maggot tune. I shudder to think. How exactly Isaac came by it? ;-]
That was great playing , Isacc's Maggot , what a wonderfull piece of noise , Off to learn that as soon as Thanks for posting P S so with the CF do you transpose or does that have a whole row of accidentals that allow you to play most keys
Just been listening to your playing again and you're bloody brilliant!

Hi there!
Lovely playing, lovely melodeon. Isaac's is one of my favourite tunes.
How can you possibly get that much music out of an 8-measure tune!! Amazing and wonderful to hear, as usual. Thanks!!
i like Playford tunes thanks !

Wow, superb.
Thanks! much appreciated!

The inside row is fully accidentals that cover more that 2 octaves.
He's more than an ordinary MELODEONIST!!!
