We have just started distributing their very nice new melodeons, which all have a quick easy action, and a rich tone. Serenellini Serenellini make beautifully finished melodeons for us in Italy, with a very similar design to instruments sold by Saltarelle. Illustrated are a Cloud model, and a two and a half row 12 bass, in walnut finish. Castagnari Castagnari is a small family workshop in Italy, which produces a superb range of craftsman made instruments for us, with attractive natural wood finish, open keyboard, delicately fretted wooden grille, and the very best in reed work. Attention is paid to every detail, you simply can t buy a better melodeon at any price.
All models have good Italian reeds, and the more expensive models have very powerful handmade reeds.
All except the Mignon come in a deluxe hard case. Most of the models are named after members of the Castagnari workforce and their families. A Castagnari Melodeon really is something special. We have tried melodeons by just about every maker in the world over the years, and we are not at all surprised that Castagnari have become recognised as the best. Right across their whole range we can unhesitatingly recommend each model.
