I've fairly been getting around lately. It's been very busy. I've been to Germany, Sicily and now I'm about to go to Italy again.  I'm really enjoying the weather we've been getting lately. A rare thing is the Scottish summer. Sods law I'm nae here tae enjoy it.
I've started a page for accordions that I have for sale that are ready to go.
First I have on sale a 72 basses Ravel 2, smoked finish with midi and mics fitted.  Visit the page Accordions for sale for more details.
Straps have been selling well and I'll be making another order shortly so if you have any particular straps you'd like made for you now is a good time to let me know. You'll save on the postage big time.

Well we thought it was getting warmer yesterday with a temperature of 16c in Aberdeen and a lovely sunny day. Today winter has arrived. It seems spring was on a Monday this year. Somewhat cruelly just after the kids had the Easter Holidays when it was the worst weather and coldest period for March and April since records began in 1850, or something.
    Not to worry. If you need to splurge on that accordion you have been dreaming about, don't fight it, just get it now.
We now accept Mastercard, Visa and Maestro payments over the phone, or by email. Making everything a lot easier for you the customer and assuring you of the best standards in security for your purchases.

We have in stock now some of the best straps you will find anywhere for the accordion. My personal favourite by Italcinte is the 304a, extra wide, extra padded and with a back strap included.  I'm selling them at the best price you will find anywhere and they are in the eBay shop at just £45 including delivery. If you don't have an Ebay account you can call me or email me with your order.  These are the comfiest straps I ever used and they are a must for your playing to improve!
Soft cases also available. I have in stock at the moment sizes for a 120, 96/80, 48 or diatonic.  Any other sizes can also be ordered pretty quickly. Email me or check the Ebay shop.
Don't confuse these Straps and cases with others you see on Ebay that are cheaper. These are well worth the small difference in price. The quality is superiore!

The sale promotion on the Vignoni Ravel range of accordions will end on Friday at noon.... So get in soon.

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.
