Accordion Coffee Table

Going to start making more regular blogs!

I had the idea for the accordion coffee table a few years ago and last summer finally got round to making it. It’s constructed from Scottish Elm.
A diatonic reed block was used and I was limited to two chords (one out and one in). After much thought decided to go for Amen. The only other options I could think of were the Jaws and Psycho theme tunes which I didn’t fancy too much.
The reeds were tuned by Mr Robert Rolston of Manfrini accordions & the table was displayed at the opening of the new Manfrini showroom where it was played by Phil Cunningham and various other accordion legends.
The prototype table can be seen on the Youtube link below and you can now order yours from www.woodeyefurniture.co.uk . Each table is hand crafted and takes up to eight weeks from confirmation of order.
There are a couple of new musical furniture ideas in the pipeline. Keep an eye on the facebook pages for updates.
