Arrangements by Reyer Zwart. Recorded at E-sound studios, Weesp, Holland. Mixed at studio VOMP Aalsmeer by Bas van Otterloo. Cees Hamelink plays a VIBRANDONEON. The vibrandoneon was invented before the melodica, it is only that both instruments have very similar mechanism. Vibrandoneon was invented in Italy in 19th century, where melodica was invented around 1950's in Germany, then the Japanese put the piano keyboard design on melodica. The main difference is that Vibrandoneon has double reed for each note on the instrument, and you can turn both reed on, or one of them on, just like an accordion; where the melodica has only single reed for each note. More importantly, Vibrandoneon is crafted by premium wood. Hence Vibrandoneon has a richer, rounder sound than melodica.
