Choosing your Melodeon
Firstly you need to know what style of music you will mainly want to play - the most popular styles are given below, and each calls for a different tuning. Apart from the style you prefer, you should consider what key your friends use, so you can join in and learn from them, and the pitch of your voice. We would always recommend you to start on a two row.

D/G is suited to English folk Music.

B/C is for Irish music (players use both rows in order to play mainly in D or G, but the instrument is almost chromatic).

In France, and most parts of North and South America G/C is preferred

In Germany C/F is the standard
