Did you have the MIDI put in your accordion or did you do it yourself? I have thought about doing that to my Titano Stroller. Does it effect the way the keyboard feels?

[FantomReg]

@ChucklesKeys the MIDI was fitted by a freind , because this is a "no reeds" accordion, ( no pallet arms to move ) the action is remarkably fast & light

[ChucklesKeys]

That is too cool! Who built the accordion????

[FantomReg]

@ChucklesKeys

Hi, i refurbished it myself from an old transicord electronic accordion

from around 1968, took all original electronics out & fitted MIDI

then painted it white and put gold ornamentaion on, labour of love !

As an organist and accordianist, can Reg tell me why there is no expression action in this? there is audibly but not visually. I mena there is no squeeze action in the accordian. Does the TOIAB stuff do this too, once pre-programmed? WONDERFUL STUFF REG!!!!!!!!!!

This is a bloody fantastic idea, well implemented.

[DickLiebert]

You have to hand it to them, they finally did it, capturing the mighty WurliTzer with modern electronic means. Asides from my own style, I happen to like the "British Bounce" organ playing. Regards to all my fans.

You play your chords very well Reg. It's a pleasure to listen to you playing the midi accordion with those lovely organ samples.
