Thank you Keith.
Obviously I will do this any way, but surely someone is particularly pleased with the tone, or playability of a recent purchase to the point they would wish to share their experience here.
My first melodeon, many years ago, of East German origin, was difficult to play to the point of pain, I don't recall the dealer at the Dartmoor Folk Festival mentioning this, at the time.
What about the Sandpiper, has any one got one of these? How do they compare with a Salterelle, for instance.
