I have enjoyed watching these videos about melodeon making.
They did a fine job those twelve in Yeovil !

My husband made a melodeon with Emmanuel Pariselle in France a year ago (alongside Andy Cutting, no less!) - he absolutely loved the week over there, and came away with a very lovely instrument for less money than an equivalent shop-bought one. Highly recommended.

I can only imagine what pride one experiences after having literally built your own instrument, has to be an incredible feeling!
