A wonderful tune, written by Andy Cutting and played as part of Melodeon.net’s Tune of the Month for January 2014. Played on a Castagnari Lilly in A/D (so here, the tune’s played in D).

A new instrument! I’ve been playing this for 4 days, and it’s literally a new world, hence the tune. So yes, there’s a few stylistic things to sort out, and yes there’s large chunks of the tune missing, but this should give an idea of what this wonderful box sounds like. Now I need to learn to play it properly! This is also known in the UK as the Hovis tune of course, after the TV advert which featured it prominently.

A traditional jig from goodness knows where, Seven Stars, played by Clive Williams on a Castagnari Lilly melodeon in A/D. Actually played 3 times and multitracked!

Here’s a version of a tune by Chris Wood, When the Land is White with Snow. A lovely piece of music (when played by Chris on violin, anyway!), here played on a Castagnari Lilly melodeon in A/D. I’ve been trying to learn this tune for ages… finally got it!

Silta (‘Bridge’ in English) was written by Markku Lepisto, a fine melodeon player from Finland. It’s a remarkable tune, in 3 parts and a rather irregular structure.
Markku normally plays it on a G/C; here I’m playing it on a D/G Castagnari Mory. Haven’t got quite all the fancy bass runs that Markku does, but hey, that’s why he’s a professional musician, and I’m not!
