Melodeon tuned B - Es ?
« on: March 15, 2017, 09:19:54 PM »


Have seen a old 2R melodeon for sale in a web-announcment i Danmark. He who want to sell it insists that the tuning is B - Es. Have never heard of such one. Have you?

Name and model is Viking Stradella Virtuos.

Possibly a bit like this one, formerly in my collection.  Presumably Klingenthal built, specifically for the Danish market. How it found its way to Australia is a mystery. Reeds, originally somewhere between Bb/Eb and A/D when I got it, though stamped A/D, to which I restored it before selling it. Nice tone and condition, but not for me. Can't keep 'em all....  :-[

Tuner/repairer, now retired, but still playing! Happy to offer advice on repairs etc., and might be persuaded to undertake the odd emergency job for local and longtime  customers. Selling a few melodeons from my collection currently....

Bb/Eb it is.
Here's a list of key names, in different countries.
