Here’s a fantastic fiddle jig written by Casey Driessen … squeezed as best I can on melodeon. If you like this, listen to Casey’s version to hear how it should be played; there’s only so much I can do on a restricted instrument like a melodeon, and since I’m not Casey. What a musician!
Here played on a Hohner 1920’s box in G/C for melodeon.net’s theme of the month of April 2024, ‘Tunes from USA’
Comments closedA waltz written by Jon Swayne (of Blowzabella fame). Some versions stick an extra bar on the end of the B music – I don’t. Played on a Hohner 1920’s G/C melodeon for melodeon.net’s tune of the month, September 2023.
This melodeon is for sale (as of 9/9/23); see https://forum.melodeon.net/index.php?topic=29605.msg350585#msg350585 if interested.
Comments closedClassic french waltz, played for Melodeon.net’s April 2022 – Spring. Learned from the playing of english group Rosbif, and written by french composer Émile Waldteufel. I’m playing it on a Hohner Club I in C/F.
Comments closedA cracking tune written by Kjell-Erik Eriksson of Hoven Droven, and quite popular on the session scene a while back. Played on a 1920’s Hohner in G/C, so we’re in the key of C.
Melodeon.net tune of the month for February 2021.
Comments closedMelodeon.net’s tune of the month for June 2020 is Tor Albrigtsen’s waltz; here played on a dry tuned 1920’s Hohner in G/C. It seems nicely suited to the tune I think
Comments closedA mazurka written by Gregory Jolivet of Blowzabella, and learned from their latest album “Two Score”. Fits on melodeon really quite nicely, needing a small accidental note at the end of the B music, but that’s about it.
Melodeon.net’s theme of the month is mazurkas; this video is part of that. Played on a restored 1920’s Hohner in G/C
Comments closedHere’s a version of Scarborough Fair played on a G/C 1920’s Hohner Melodeon only using the standard 2 rows and 8 basses; not the extra 4 basses available on this instrument.
Melodeon.net theme of the month for November 2015, Tunes’s that Lester Bailey *hasn’t* covered in his tune-a-day blog.
Comments closedHere’s a 2nd go at this tune (I had a go at a jig version of this a couple of years ago) – this version is a straight 4/4 version played in D minor on a 1920’s Hohner G/C melodeon. Apart from the first time through where a D chord on the push is needed, this is perfectly playable on any 2 row 8 bass instrument with thirds off.
Melodeon.net tune of the month for November 2015
Comments closedAnother version of this, played as part of Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for November 2014. This time, it’s played on a Hohner 1920’s model in G/C (and played in C). This great mazurka was written by Maxou Heintzen of course.
Comments closedA great tune written and played by Naragonia; a 5/4 waltz commonly played in F; here played in C on a Hohner G/C melodeon.
