vivdunstan: A red chromatic button accordion (chromatic button accordion)
Spotted this, while checking on the same page another advert from the travelling German accordion player/tuner/repairer I'm researching. Forres, Elgin and Nairn Gazette of 6 May 1903.

Advert from Campbell's Musical Instrument Makers of Glasgow for "MUSIC IN THE HOUSE, MAKES CHEERFUL HAPPY HOMES". Buy their Gold Medal Melodeons "NO HOME SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE". "No knowledge of Music required by the player". Prices ranging from 6/9 to 16/6. Praised by "PROFESSOR BROWN, the Champion Melodeon player of Great Britain, Ireland and Wales".
vivdunstan: Part of my family tree (genealogy)
Pleased this afternoon to manage a couple of things on my to do list for the week. I blogged my way through them. Both family history hunts. First finding my granddad and his siblings in Catholic baptism registers for Leeds, Yorkshire. And secondly, using communion rolls to narrow down when my maternal ancestors moved to Melrose, Scotland. Happy with that burst of genealogical productivity.
