Almost 23 years ago Author, Melodeon Maestro and traditional music book publisher Dave Mallinson (author of "The D/G Melodeon Absolute Beginners" - Quick Find Code 5272) went together with one of the partners at The Music Room to Italy. Their goal was to find a light melodeon with power and positive melodeon fingerboard action.
20 or so melodeon manufacturers later the shortlist was headed and eventually won by the Dino Baffetti Black Pearl II melodeon.
It is easy to understand why both Mally and The Music Room fell in love with this brilliant melodeon.
A 19 button, 8 bass, 2 voice instrument and is available with or without accidentals. It plays like a dream, satisfying the needs of the Morris musician, pub session player and professional alike.
Dino Baffetti is the preferred choice of Ben Woodward of Peeping Tom, Tristan Glover of the Chipolatas and Simon Care of E2K.
