Thread Name: when is a melodeon not a melodeon ?
Subject: RE: when is a melodeon not a melodeon ?
Well,
I have an e-melodeon which I have taken to quite a few session. Only one person ever spotted that it was electronic and that was because they wanted to buy one and had done their homework.
It looks like a melodeon, plays like a melodeon and sounds like one.
I can change key at the press of a button which is useful for accompaniment.
I was a morris muso for about 15 years and started on a pokerwork and eventually ended up with a Castagnari Lilly, finally after a two year wait my Streb was ready and I love it.
Its not a melodeon its a synth but as the saying goes.
If it quacks, and walks like a duck it probably is a duck.
Live long a keep on squeezing.
