three beauties

The three row diatonic button accordion, what the Portuguese call the concertina, what the Mexicans call Acordion Conjunto/Norteno, and what some of us just call the button box, or the squeezebox - is my favorite instrument. These three beauties are fromthe Reyes Accordions site.

I can remember being a kid and watching that dreaded show Tiny Talent Time (hey it was the only thing on tv on a Sunday afternoon back then). Anyway, I saw some kid play an accordion and bugged my parents for the longest time for one of them. Never got it :(

You might like Dino Saluzzi's music, especially Kultrum. He plays a bandoneon, a rather cool accordion-like thing. Imagine a string quartet with the sounds of that instrument. It is quite awesome.

thanks. I'm familiar with the instrument, though I've never played one. I'll check out the music.
