This is a Lester/Alison collaboration. I took the shots - the melodeon ones were done today with the compact - Lester did the video, and we both played the tune.
Lester belongs to a melodeon discussion group. Each month its members decide on a theme and those who will, record themselves (along with family/friends if they wish) playing something suitable and post it to Youtube. If Lester and I both know a suitable tune, we record it together. The theme this month is mazurkas. Lumpy Custard (I'm ashamed to say I don't know the proper name for the tune) is an old favourite for us both. The weather's been rather nasty today, so it was a good day to do this.
So what I did in terms of taking shots today was taking some of Lester's melodeon for the video clip, but it seemed churlish not to post the whole thing :-D

Also known as Mazurka de Barbary, Dziekowice, Mazurka Auvergnate or Skelton's. The second one is presumably the Polish name?
Nice shots. Particularly liked the hammer dulcimer shot at about 1.42. Neat way of getting i nlots of photos for one slot! And how did you get the underwater effect at the end?
@jtookey150 Thank you, Jean, I'm glad you enjoyed it; it's a smashing little tune to play. @bigsusan55 Ah, thank you, Susan, i should have guessed you'd have the info. I must write the names down.
Lester uses iMovie on the Mac and the watery effect is part of the package, apparently.
