| Choosing your Melodeon - Firstly you need to know what style of music you will mainly want to play and each calls for a different tuning. Apart from the style you prefer, you should consider what key your friends use, so you can join in and learn from them, and the pitch of your voice. One would normally start with a two row.D/G is suited to English folk Music.B/C is for Irish music (players use both rows in order to play mainly in D or G, but the instrument is almost chromatic).In France, and most parts of North and South America G/C is preferred.In Germany C/F is the standard | |
