Yes I know it's a PA, but............
John MacKenzie (Cugiok):
I was wondering whether this might be a candidate for conversion? Don't know anything about its age or whatever, but I have a melodeon with the same bellows papers.

Dick Rees:
Maybe a Semi-Shand box? Keep the LH stock and go diatonic in the RH...
Theo:
Why would you want to? If you want a 12 bass diatonic there are plenty of Coronas around.
george garside:
you need to check the dimensions but probably fairly near to a pokerwork melodeon. Might need an adaptor plate to connect bass end to pokerwork bellows. To me 12 'stradella' (same both ways) bass is much better than the 8 melodeon bass particularly as the choice of bass note/chord is not dependent on bellows direction which means that there is always bass available whether playing on the row or across the rows .

Theo:
George, I have one of these in my workshop at the moment and it is more like Corona size. Certainly much bigger than pokerwork size.
