I enjoyed playing this
accordion for the above sound samples. The Bassoon and Clarinet sounds
are warm and deep. The Organ and Harmonium switches are excellent for
classical repertoire. The violin and musette have a nice tonal color.
The accordion is offered
with two years warranty serviced at the Accordion Gallery in
Flemington, NJ. Local support is very important. If you had
to wait while your new accordion is being shipped to Italy for repairs
you know how frustrating this could be.
Call 973-219-9259 with any questions or to schedule you visit to the Accordion Gallery.
Please, note that
the straps you see in the above and below pictures are temporary
straps that I used to record the sound demo.
The original straps
have never been used and are shown in some of the other pictures.
The photographs below
show the interior of the accordion.
