Saltarelle Ocean 18 ADG Melodeon

The 18 Bass version of Saltarelle's incredible Ocean model - This truly is the Cat's Whiskers when it comes to melodeons. The 18 Bass, 3 row layout offers the opportunity to harmonise ANY note of the chromatic scale and as a consequence is perfect for a huge variety of musical styles. Beautiful hand made reeds give a wonderful crisp sound and the keyboard is one of the fastest on the planet. If you're looking at this, you've probably already considered the Castagnari Handry. My personal view is that the Saltarelle is fractionally nicer, but that's a matter of individual taste. In any case, this is a world class instrument for the true professional.
