My other melodeon's a fiddle, but one of my Hohners has six strings! I also play a very red Hawkins Bazaar in C and a generic Klingenthaler spoon bass in F.!! My other pets (played) are gobirons - Hohner Marine Band in C, Hohner Tremolo in D and a Chinese Thingy Tremolo in G.

Perhaps you could decorate it with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics instead to associate it with the "Goddess of health, marriage, and love"!

I've seen a couple of those being played online - what is the history of Isis?

Pretty sure they were boxes designed by the Music Room, back when they were still based in Oxford, hence the name. Squeezy had something to do with it, if I remember correctly.

From a quick search on the forum, they were made by Excelsior, and developed into the Chiltern.
