Thanks! I have another question for you...Did you have it restored at any point by anyone? I just got an old single row melodeon off ebay and I know it would kick ass if I had it restored by the right person. Do you have any recommendations?

That is a 1950s gray, 3-voice Paolo Soprani. It's actually the accordion that was featured on my father's first solo album, Makin' the Rounds, and before that it was owned by the great Bobby Gardiner. It's a gem.

His son yeah...
Sean, I have a quick question for you. Is that Paolo your playing one of the older greys or the more recently-built ones?
It sounds good and loud, whichever it is! (Jubilees I think they're called)
