Prince & Co. 1846 Improved Melodeon
on: July 20, 2012, 04:30:11 PM
Yeah, an 1846 melodeon. God, but it's glorious!

My mother-in-law recently passed this on to me. Everything is in working order; needs some cleaning and replacement pedals for the billows, but oh my goodness it is so wonderful! Some of the keys stick, but can you believe it's still in tune?

Has anyone else ever had the pleasure of experiencing one of these exquisite instruments?
A wrong note played timidly is a wrong note. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation.
