Blimey that was fantastic Paul. Wish to God I could play like that. What keys is the melodeon in please?

[@petermasterson8276]

Above in notes.

[@Isotop_]

Great !

[@samsam_133]

what tone?

[@paulyoungfolk]

The tunes are in E minor and D, the box is a D/G.

[@petercane6376]

Sorry Paul. Just seen that the box is DG. So you are living proof we do not need a BC box to play Irish. Now I am really in it!!

@@petercane6376 Actually prior to the adoption of the B/C system, most Irish button boxes were C#/D.

[@randyo573]

@@paulyoungfolk If the box is D/G with one row in each key, what key is the third row in?

[@paulyoungfolk]

@@randyo573 That's for all the other keys.
