Hi,
The new Sandpiper G/C Melodeon arrived yesterday, and it's my first encounter with a diatonic instrument. It was converted from a 4th button start to a 3rd button start with accidentals by Mr Sandman himself so I feel reassured that it's been well looked over as well.
I left the PA about 4 years ago over my frustrations with the RH keyboard angle, but strangely not having such problems with the LH, which I found to be very intuitive..
So far concentrating on the RH, Ive been practicing the C and G scale, Speed the Plough in C and the Brahms lullaby in C. As of 9.00 today I haven't played anything yet so it'll be interesting to see whats's stuck.
Here goes!
Bob.
