As played by yours truly at the Twinwoods Organ Festival 2007, this instrument is in excellent condition, complete with virtually new straps and fitted bellows protector, plus a good hard carry case. A nice compact and lightweight accordion with a powerful sound, in lovely mottled red colour scheme.
As well as being a superb traditional accordion with musette tuning, it also has a midi output on every note, so is a bit like an electronic keyboard as well. Using an external expander I can have all sorts of different sounds with the accordion including automatic percussion from the bass notes, a bit like a theatre organ. It’s great for quickly arranging midi files in Cakewalk too as I just play and record in real time – I never got on with piano or keyboard instruments, but was somehow able to pick up the piano accordion quite quickly. I’ll have to try connecting the midi output to a midi controlled organ sometime to see how that sounds!
