Double Octave or Musette

[Soulsaver]

Its interesting that nobody has raised the spectre of a 5 voice accordion.
This will give you LMMMH in all combinations.
Are these instruments undesirable these days?

Undesirably cumbersome, if not heavy.. and usually also expensive...

True I guess, but even so I do like the sound of all those reeds roaring away together, for example in the Irish-American D/C# button boxes (Joe Derrane etc)
Links are on my home computer but these come to mind...



I guess whats needed, given Soulsavers comment, is a five reed 30/60 in Irish tuning.........
