A great tune written by the late Steve Dumpleton, a fine musician and teacher who passed away recently. This is melodeon.net’s tune of the month for August 2021.
Played on a Robert Boutet one-row melodeon in D.

A one row accordion in D made by Robert Boutet of Quebec. Dry tuned.
Two fast reels played as part of Melodeon.net’s theme of the month for March 2018, Fast Tunes. These two were written by Dave Whetstone, and featured on his CD ‘The Resolution’. Dave gave up playing for a bit, but is doing occasional gigs now – which is great; he’s a really fine player.
The box I’m playing this on is a Robert Boutet Quebecois one row accordion in D.
Comments closedA one-row tune written for Melodeon.net’s theme of the month for November 2017, One-Row tunes. I wrote this a few hours ago, while experimenting for a few ideas for what I should play; it’s harder than it looks, and needs 4 fingers on the treble to play fluently. Good exercise for us box players.

A cracking 3 part reel played on a Robert Boutet one row in D. I’ve had to change the 3rd part slightly to make it fit on the one row. Melodeon.net tune of the month, March 2016

2 tunes ideally suited for a 1 row melodeon; in this case a newly tuned up Robert Boutet one-row in D. I wrote the first tune, The Jolly Machine, many years ago – not recorded it before until now though. Martha’s Comet is written by Sue Harris for her dance team; in fact, the *dance* is called Martha’s Comet, and the tune itself Evening Star, strictly speaking. It goes by both names. Martha’s Comet is a *much* cooler name though, don’t you think?

A slightly different take on Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for June 2013, Theme Vannatais. Played on a newly acquired Robert Boutet one row melodeon in D, but not played in D 🙂 (In fact, I don’t actually know what key it’s in; maybe a form of F# since that is one of the predominant chords in use).
