Aoliandorian: Erm, are you quite sure? I'm pretty certain that most of the rest of the world call it an "accordion", not just the Irish. To my limited knowledge it's only the englesh who call it a melodeon. I can't buy a melodeon from Saltarelle - they sell diatonic accordions (or accordeons diatoniques). The renowned Hohner pokerwork is a Vienna accordion. Etc. etc. ad nauseum. The (pointless) controversy will no doubt continue but I think you're pretty far off with melodeon = different push & pull; accordion = same note push & pull. Martin
