Princess Royal

Published October 10, 2014

A new version of Princess Royal played for Melodeon.net’s tune of the month feature. Somewhere in my channel of videos, is another version of this, recorded 5 years ago. I wonder how the way I play it has changed?

This is one of the minorised versions, played on a Bb/Eb Hohner Preciosa on the inner row, so it comes out in F minor.

The Nutting Girl, alternative version

The Nutting Girl, alternative version

Published August 24, 2010

A different take on the classic morris tune, The Nutting Girl – this time it’s turned into a minor key (C minor actually), and played on a Hohner Preciosa in Bb/Eb – a recent ebay purchase, rebuilt for me by ace melodeon restorer Mike Rowbotham.
If the sound on this video is a little iffy, it’s my recording (oops, deleted the main sound file, had to use the backup), not the melodeon!

Part of www.melodeon.net’s tune of the month for August 2010.
