A schottische written by great French accordion player, Marc Perrone – melodeon.net’s tune of the month for October 2015. Played on a Hohner Pokerwork in D/G as an experiment into how much of this tune, which really needs accidentals, can be played on a simple 2 row melodeon.

Here is Off to California, a nice simple hornpipe and melodeon.net tune of the month for April 2015.
Played on an electronic Streb melodeon, in the key of G/C (I’m using the Streb to test out the balance of chords and basses for another box).

A truly beautiful tune written by Thomas Walsh, an accordionist from Dublin, and definitely now a session classic. Here played on a D/G Castagnari Mory. One of my favourite tunes at the moment.

Part of melodeon.net’s theme of the month for November 2014, tunes with names in the names! This beautiful air was written by Nathaniel Gow, around 1800; popularised in the melodeon community by the playing of Tony Hall.
Here, it’s played on a Bb/Eb Hohner Preciosa, and comes out in Eb.

Another 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.
