Hi Graham - wonderful playing and such beautiful tunes. Could you name them for me as I want to try and get the dots. Am learning to play the (BCC#) Hohner Trichord and this video is particularly inspirational. Thanks, AL

Hey Graham glad you like the Cape Bretton stuff > It has been an inspiration to me and you do a fine rendition but can still tell you are genuine scotch .

Lovely stuff. And still no CD. Get a grip.

excellent
why is the bass on most 3-rows in a rectangle shape instead of diagonal?

Hi - this bass layout contains the standard diagonal Stradella 96 bass system - but extra bass buttons were added to the Shand Morino which had a 105 button configuration. Fantini have copied this to make it look the same as the Shand Morino. There is no practical reason for the extra basses and I think they were added for aesthetic effect to make the instrument look more balanced on each side.

Lovely tunes Graham, and very nicely played. I LOVE the tone of the Fantini accordions. They've got supr Scottish tuning

Cheers! The Fantini that I play was specifically made for Scottish music - they are supposedly emulating the Shand Morino - but I think they have a disinctive sound all of their own and actually surpass the Morino in the quality of the reeds.
