I, myself, just play the top-line melody on any piano-style keyboards with 2 hands - I started playing my computer keyboard with free software called KB Piano, then transferred this "touch-typing" technique to piano keys. It's okay for folk, I feel, as for centuries English folk, at least, was the repitition of just the top-line melody for telling and/or dancing...but now that I can just about play my repertoire by heart, I'm tempted by the bell lyre. From: It IS a long story so - walkaboutsverse.741.com - but briefly, born Manchester (Eng.), then Sydney and Adelaide (Aus.), London, Manchester again, and now Newcastle.
