| Â | Irish melodeon |
 | | He was the first melodeon player to record Irish music for a record label, in 1904 or 1905. | | | Though now out of favour among musicians and listeners, the melodeon has had a huge influence on the playing of Irish music. | | | From near Killybegs in Co Donegal, he recorded an album for Green Linnet. |

| Â | Thus Spake Stradling.... The Rod Stradling Interview |
| | The one thing that typifies all the traditional performers I've ever known is that they're quite unselfconscious about the music that they play. | | | The very accessibility of Old Swan's tunes attracted some poor players who went on to dominate music sessions, giving English music in general and the melodeon specifically a reputation for being dull and plodding in certain sections of the folk music press. | | | I had that for 6 or 9 months then I was bought, for a wedding present, a second-hand one-row Hohner pokerwork, which you could actually play, it was a proper musical instrument. |

| | The melodeon is very easy to learn, and tends to suit people who play by ear, as it is difficult to read music on a push-pull instrument. | | | They represent excellent value, and the powerful sound of the reeds and flexibility of the stops has made them a firm favourite. | | | Available to order in C or D Made in Italy. |

| | The instrument has a naturally rhythmic sound, and has been absorbed into traditional music worldwide. | | | The Abbe Georg Josef Vogler had a role in introducing the concept of the free reed principle to Europe and by his death in 1814 many prototype instruments were being made with a variety of names and shapes. |

| Â | irishmusicweb: Johnny Connolly, melodeon player |
| | I liked it and there was a lovely sound off it as well, the four stopper melodeon. | | | But even as the album was getting wide airplay, particularly on Radio na Gaeltachta, at the pub session Johnny was still playing the BC accordeon. | | | Johnny practised away on his new C melodeon and the result was the album, An tOilean Aerach, which sparked renewed interest in the old-style melodeon. |

| Â | Irish music on the D/G Melodeon |
| | In actual fact the melodeon is very suited to Irish music because its limited range falls naturally into that of the tradition. | | | The key of Am is almost always dorian mode where F is sharp rather than natural, as in mainstream music. | | | Many A tunes are mixolydian mode making use of the flattened seventh G natural. |

| Â | Mats Eden and the melodeon life |
| | His solo album Läckerbiten (Amigo) was nominated for a Swedish Grammy, Mats' 5th Grammy nomination to date! | | | My hope was to take the silver medal and win the title of riksspelman ("musician of the realm"). | | | When we met him for the first time (around 1974 or 75), he had started to play the songs he had learned as a boy on the melodeon and he was pretty good with them. |

| Â | A section of music encyclopedia |
| | Because the accordion produces the same note whether you push or pull the bellows, getting up a snappy rhythm is more difficult than with a melodeon, which yields a bass chord rhythm as the bellows are moved in and out because a different note is produced on the push and on the pull. | | | The accordion has a chromatic piano-like keyboard, although you’ll occasionally see true accordions with buttons (not to be confused with the melodeon). | | | All accordions and melodeons have lefthand buttons for playing bass chords. |
