Hello, newby to the forum here and my offering of ToTM ,which will also be on ToTm ,I'm just using this to practise posting 

My box is a Castagnari single row in C . I bought this from Theo Gibb's Box Place a few years ago and have dibbled and dabbled with it ever since.

I am a musical vagabond and will play anything that grabs me in the moment so I tend to go off piste at play arounds and annoy some people. Imay do that,but I don't mean to. Just give me a virtual elbow and a swift oi if I get out of line  . Looking forward to actually learning something proper about this box. But I do rather love it.

Hi Chris - just found your posting over here too! Nice to meet you, and of course, nice to meet your melodeon too. The Castagnari one-row is a truly lovely thing, and you really can't go wrong getting it from Theo; it'll be top class and serve you well for years! Looking forward to hearing more of your playing...

Cheers

I've been really enjoying learning for about 6 months > this is my first crack at contributing and I'm not game to put it in Theme of the Month thread (June 2022: Alphabet Soup - M).

I think this is about the fourth song I have both hands sorted on... Lots! of room for improvement incl. timing,  but was keen to get something up and it's the end of the month .
Also, guessing this video is take #43  /s - I seem to be able to play it a lot more smoothly and comfortably (and sometimes more tunefully?)  when there's no camera   . oh well, many letters left!

Nicely done - I had a quick waltz to that.

Join the club!  A very widespread experience.

As a veteran of ~600 videos unfortunately it doesn't get much easier, I still take ~5/10 takes until my desired quality declines to meet my current capability

Thanks! One of your recordings was where I first heard it and inspired me to give it a go.  . (I think Australian tunes ThOTM?)

Thanks very much arty.

I hugely appreciate your videos and ABC, thanks Lester.

I have to say I’m impressed by your bellows control, that’s a great foundation for your playing technique right there. I don’t think you’ll be in the beginners section much longer!

[PeterBRC]

Really enjoyed that, as a beginner I might have a go !
Mudgee Waltz sounds a catchy tune to pick up by ear , with straight forward chords
