Dino Baffetti Equinox 21 Button DG Melodeon

Dino Baffetti Equinox D/G Melodeon – Built for Serious Players

The Dino Baffetti Equinox is a high-quality Italian-made D/G melodeon designed for serious players who want a responsive, characterful instrument that will support their playing long-term.

Developed through collaboration and inspired by instruments originally produced for the Portuguese market, the Equinox brings together robust traditional design with features that suit the demands of UK players.

Who is this for?
The Equinox is ideal for players looking to step up from a beginner instrument, or for those wanting a compact, lively melodeon suited to English folk, sessions, and regular playing.

With 21 treble buttons and 8 basses, it offers added versatility while maintaining a comfortable, compact feel. The fast, positive keyboard action makes it particularly enjoyable for ornamentation and rhythmic playing.

The soul of any melodeon lies in its reeds, and here the combination of Dino Baffetti craftsmanship with hand-made Binci reeds delivers a sound that is both distinctive and reassuringly familiar—rich, responsive, and full of character.

The striking retro finish gives the instrument real visual presence, setting it apart from more traditional designs while maintaining a clear connection to its heritage.

This is the kind of instrument that encourages you to play more—the balance, response, and character make it genuinely enjoyable to pick up every time.
