Stevie Wonder played on melodeon
« on: December 20, 2017, 10:11:26 AM »

Hi  Just watched ToraderM version of "Isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonder, simply amazing, inspirational.
Think I'll have to take up the recorder or as a last resort the banjo.

You could always try an Irish chromatic box, I’m sure that’s what he’s playing.

Definitely not. It's a standard G/C instrument played in a D blues scale.

Coo!  Really?  I’ll have to look a bit more carefully at that.

[later]  I did, and now I’ve tried it, you’re right!  Thanks!
