Russian music?
« on: April 08, 2017, 10:19:36 PM »

Hello all,

I was recently gifted a Melodeon, but I suspect it may not be able to deliver the same sound as Russian music. Russian music is typically done on a Bayan or a form of Garmoshka.

I have no idea how to play, but I have been learning slowly and I am finding that the sound is different. Would anyone mind playing some Russian songs on your Melodeon and recording them on video? I can pay using Paypal. I just want to see if the Melodeon is capable of replicating such music.

Here are some samples:

Thank you

The tunes being played are not being played on a traditional "melodeon" type of diatonic accordion. I'm not at all familiar with the Bayan or Garmon type of accordion - I'm sure someone on Melnet can advise you, but the tunes you link to are being played on chromatic instruments, or at least semi-chromatic. I'm sure some of the melodies could be played on a melodeon, but the overall effect would be different.
