Accordion Blog from Iran
The Nardin Gallery is a fascinating accordion blog from Gholamreza Seyed Hasani who lives in the city of Tabriz in Iran.
Mr Hasani collects free reed instruments and also makes his own Garmon accordions.
Read his blog to find out more about these lovely beasties.
Having read the blog I had a quick scout around the interweb and realised that there is plenty of interesting free reed research to be done at the edges of Europe.

This is a great find! I've written to Mr Hasani to see if he can answer some questions about the central asian "garmon" accordion (it's kind of got button-shaped-keys or piano-shaped-buttons on both sides.)
I hope we can get more music from him to play on our radio show. If you find more regional sites, please share them with us!

I really enjoyed this blog as well, and have linked to it. The Garmon music is beautiful!
