Vibrandoneon

Check out this strange hybred musical instrument. This is Riccardo Breccia from Victoria Accordions.

Aw, couldn't believe that this has been up since 05 with no comments! I was looking at piano accordions and followed a link to the melodica, a posh wooden melodica called a mylodica via the vibrandoneon, searched for same and here I am! Maybe the instrument ain't gonna take over the world though!

You would be surprised at the number of people who have searched vibrandoneon, and came to this post - at least 3 or 4 each month. Yet, you were the first to comment. Thanks for visiting. Come back anytime.

Hi! Thanks for posting the photo.

That looks like a great instrument. I've been playing melodica for years and would love to get one of those. Where did you buy it? I can't find any way to order from the Victoria company. It's made by Victoria right? Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Marco,
I can't help you with more info. I found the photo searching around on the web. It's not mine, and I've never seen one in real life. I'd love to play one though!

Oh well - thanks for posting the pic. Maybe I'll have to go to Italy to get one!

The one I want is this one:

Same design but with beautiful traditional piano-style keys. It's gorgeous.

I have one of these. I bought it in Italy about five years ago. I believe they've stopped making this now. The sound is really very good. I also have the "mylodica" which janet mentions. it also has a wooden casing, but is basically a repackaged cheapo melodica with a nasty sound to match!
