It’s also handy for explaining the more complicated fingering patterns. Many who have been taught by Ed have inadvertently learned how to read music as a by-product of this system!

Sometimes the written word just isn’t enough. www.spinningpathmusic.co.uk ..............................................................................................................................................................................

(July
2014).................................................................................................................................... ............ FOR SALE: EXCELSIOR CHILTERN 21 TREBLE, 3 VOICE, D/G MELODEON This
Melodeon sounds great, has only some very
superficial scratches to the Cherry wood casing
and comes complete with the original lined case. A
slight modification was made at the time of
purchase, namely that a hand carved button was
installed in place of the existing air button in
order to make the system a little more comfortable
for the left hand thumb. The original button is in
the case and can be very simply re-installed.
I
am no Melodeon player (professional guitarist
instead), I had envisaged learning but have not
had time to really get to grips with the
instrument in any meaningful way, would love to
hang on to this instrument but it is too good to
be kept as an ornament!
Currently
these boxes are retailing at around £1800, this
box is nearly mint so I'm asking for £1350 or near
offer. I'm based in South East London, very happy
to arrange viewing and chance to try out. Will
organise delivery etc by agreement.

.................................................................................... FOR SALE: Hello folks, Tim Edey here. I have a few boxes these days after many years of collecting varied ones that I have used to tour and record with. A Castagnari Dinn ii which was purchased new in year circa 1999 and dry tuned and in B/C tuning, very well used+played in, however great sounding and with plenty of life for a a beginner or pro alike in it yet. It comes with the original Castagnari case and I am selling because; 1. I never play it, 2. I now play a 3 row box and find the Dinn too small for my liking. Bad points and I am totally honest with these; it needs a bass reed fixing (simple job id think as just one reed not sounding), left hand strap metal lower bracket went years ago during a concert and I just have tied it with strong string but you could easily get a proper clip/bracket done, it has usual wear n tear from an instrument that has been used on the road+in planes, trains etc few scratches, couple of hairline cracks that were professionally repaired but as I say does play great, sounds cool and is a lot less than buying a new one:) I would be looking for around £1,400 (or best offer) and you can collect in person in Perth, Scotland or I can post in the UK for an extra £25 and elsewhere for little bit more I suspect. I have made a short video of the box and you can see that here so you can see it and hear it. My best wishes Tim:) email or facebook me for more info; timedey@gmail.com http://www.youtube.com/watch? ............................................................................................................................................ .............................................................................................................:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
