News about traditional Melodeon Playing
I purchased a low cost Scarlatti melodeon. It plays in the key of D and G. It's really good value for money and easy to play. Two years on and this little box still works as good as when I bought it. A great little instrument.

Here is a recording of the Scarlatti in which I play a couple of my self penned tunes called 'Little Morris / Cassie's Polka'. I have included a four bar intro' so that it would be suitable for an English Ceilidh Set.

The instrument in the photo at the top of this webpage is a single row Hohner melodeon. It only plays in G and is a real 'growler'. 

 
 I am now on myspace and I have uploaded two completely new recordings
