1 recommender · 1 thread · recommended in 1 year, 2018 · score 1.0
A residential melodeon building course run by Emmanuel Pariselle in France, in which participants assemble a melodeon and learn the processes, assembly jigs, and tuning work involved. Commenters describe it as more of an assembly course than a full build from scratch.
Commenters highly recommend it as a practical way to learn melodeon construction, with one describing it as very useful for understanding the processes and jigs.

There's dozens of us!
My plan is somewhat similar; once I no longer live in a tiny flat I'll start experimenting with some designs. I've restored and tuned a couple of old Hohners, which is good practice. Another 10-20 of those and I think I'll roughly understand how to tune the bloody things properly :|
I can highly recommend Emmanuel Pariselle's melodeon building course. I did it a few years ago in France when the pound was particularly strong, and had a lovely French holiday which just so happened to result in a new instrument at the end. It's more of an assembly course than an end-to-end build, but it is really useful for finding out some of the processes, assembly jigs, and just what you can do to the instruments.
