Description

As a melodeon/diatonic accordion player, I’m sure you’ve experienced the unfortunate natural phenomenon known as ‘Melodeon Face’.

Symptoms can occur whilst playing and include:

• severe frowning,
• facial twitching,
• grimacing or gurning
• drooling

Many onlookers misinterpret these facial cues as sadness, seizure or possession by some demon. It may cause people to enquire after one’s personal happiness or say things like “Cheer up! Can’t be that bad”.

This unprovoked attention can leave many players feeling self-conscious about their uncontrollable, and entirely natural, Melodeon Face.

Suffer no more!

Mel Biggs has designed a nifty solution to protect yourself and others whilst playing your melodeon!

It works on three levels:

1. It reduces the risk of contamination,
2. It conceals your Melodeon Face
3. It let’s people around you know that you’re smiling (inside!)
