Welcome to the new melodeon.net forum

Terms and Conditions
Melodeon.net is completely independent and free to use, and is designed as a resource for players of melodeons and diatonic accordions everywhere, focussing strongly on the English and European styles of playing but encompassing all other styles. Our aim is purely to increase the knowledge base and communication between players so we can all get better.

This website and forum is managed by the Melodeon.net administration team, currently Theo Gibb and Clive Williams, (referred to as 'We' or 'Us' below). In entering our site you as a user ('You') are accepting our terms and conditions.
