https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5jPetK93Ss&feature=youtu.be here's my TOTM guiness waltz I mentioned! I see that the percussive sound of the buttons are way more audible on the bass side, could it be gear-related issue?
Nic Pennsylvania:
Hello all.
I'm back again with Winster Gallop. I'm able to play through the whole of the song. Though there is plenty of room for improvement, I spent the last couple weeks focusing on the "punch" and pretending the buttons were red hot. At first, this translated more into quicker playing, with some accuracy falling to the side, but I think I'm getting it.
At week five, I'm concentrating on consistency in all things, but especially bellows control. I've also been making my own arrangements of some Pennsylvanian folk songs which is helping me become more familiar with layout. This has also found me exploring some cross fingering.
As before, any advice is appreciated.

Emre Enercan:
two months of progress! This tune was the sole reason why I bought a melodeon in the first place and I love playing this so much. Just ignore the poor bellow control :D

Eek... first post! I know it's wheezy, but I need to get it over with! TOTM. :Ph

Question: see end of the video: lowest button on the inner right hand row (B below D) sounds flat and the note wavers around. I cannot play that note by itself, it sounds awful, it's better if "diluted" with other notes. Is that normal?
Pete Dunk:
Hi Andy, the low B you are playing needs tuning to reduce the tremolo between the two reeds, you need someone to take a look at it. There may be a cracked reed in there that needs replacing or a bit of tuning may sort it.
