RE: [Harp-L] Stunning Piece on Accordina

["Kent Angelos" <kmangelos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is a fantastic tune, I've heard Ludovic play before, the sound of the
Accordina is truly unique and different than chromatic harp, accordion or
melodica.  It's great that there are still folks out there playing such a
unique sounding instrument.

Great cut! 

Yeah, Ludovic is wonderful. I saw him recently with Dorado Schmitt and he
blew me away.

Like many jazz accordion players, he can easily put most (all?) chromatic
harpists to shame in terms of dexterity and chords (on either accordina or
accordion). Expression, not so much (when compared with the best harmonica
players).

Here's a link to Ludovic's accordina album, I found it very enjoyable to
listen to and it did actually give me some harmonica inspiration:
