Castagnari - Handry 18Description : The Handry is Castagnari's top of the range full sized 3 row box. Fitted with tipo a mano reeds and featuring registers on both left and right hands that allow a wide variety of voicings to be selected during play. The 3 treble levers behind the keyboard work in 2 directions to give the 5 possible sounds M, MM, LM, L, LMM and the 4 register buttons on the left hand give all the options to remove the thirds from the chords and bring in

Hand built to Castagnari's high standards and available in walnut

Bass registers : 7

Width (cm) : 42

featuring a stop on the left hand to remove the thirds and given a beautiful Celtic knot inspired grille the Knot is incredibly good value for money

The rows are 6 buttons long each and it plays the same scale as the upper octave on a larger melodeon

so they tend to suit a more efficient continental style of playing

To get the full 33 button keyboard in to such a small instrument the buttons are slightly smaller than on their full-sized models

Keyboard : Flat

This is a medium sized 3 voice box that gives a very traditional sounding LMM tone which can be reduced to the shimmering tremolo of an MM 2 voice sound by use of the treble stop

it is a great way to extend your playing range beyond the 2 row limitations

The Castagnari Lilly was the first single-voiced little box to become popular in the melodeon playing world due to it's small size and surprisingly loud

For 100 years or more Hohner have lead the way in producing models that appeal to the main stream market and are renowned for providing well made instruments that last a long time
