Here is a demo video I made today of the Ravel 2 with the smoked finish. The 'instant sunshine' model as I call it. This is just the accordion sound and there's no midi being used here.  That will be something for the next video coming up shortly. I hope it brings a smile to your face. We could all do with a little sunshine now and then. Especially in the northern hemisphere.
If you are in need of sunshine you need to have one of these accordions, and if you still need to travel abroad you can even take this on the plane with you for even more added sunshine!

Well well. It's been a busy day and my eyes are straining to bide open. I've been at the computer all day and It has been a very nice day outside in Aberdeen. Though I missed it. We all wondered what that orange ball in the sky was. It's been a while since we've seen it.
 I have been working out some new prices for accordions and microphones. I hope there is something there to tempt you!
I'd like to make you happy.

The plan for the next few days - I intend to make a demo video of a Ravel 2 shortly and post it up. It's a fantastic wee box.
When I first played it I couldn't stop smiling. I immediately described it as '72 basses of instant happiness.' It was the first thing that came to my mind. My face was sore from smiling. Both myself and my accordion pal Billy couldn't stop ourselves from grinning.
The great thing of course with a small accordion is you can get on an airplane with it. It's measurements pass the hand luggage dimensions on budget airlines. It fit's inside the cage no problem. Great if you need to travel on a plane with an accordion. Like this guy does. http://www.onemanceilidhband.co.uk With only 3 voices it's very light. It's great for a traddy tune.
It has a really nice finish too. Smoked Effect. You can see a picture of it on the website.http://www.vignoniaccordions.co.uk
It has Q-Link midi and MusicTech MT-06N microphones installed in it.

I better get some beauty sleep if I'm up for a video tomorrow…probably need some practice too.

Well, after a fair bit of work, the website it's just about complete. I have a few improvements to make, the ideas just keep coming. Some of them are great, some not so great but I'm confident I'll arrive at something that will be nice. I am very excited to be representing and supplying such great accordions as Vignoni and Musictech's modern technological systems for accordionists and if you are out there and squeezing away with an old piece of furniture and are in need of some new inspiration, I am looking forward to come to your help. A new Vignoni accordion could put a big smile on any box player's face for a long long time. 
    I have never written a Blog before but I'm told that in this modern world it is essential to keep everyone up to date with everything that one does, whether I think it would be of any interest to them or not. It's a strange concept to me but I'll do my best. I am not a writer. I am an accordion player.
