  • Great tips, thank you so much.

    Brazil.

  • It was neither of these but the one you used for playing klezmer, it was cream colored with gold trim, no visible switches, probably a palm switch. You called it wet tuned, It looks like 1930's maybe Italian could be 120 bass? I can't see any name on it.

  • Which one. The Bell is for sale, the Quastelli is not. The Bell has three treble registers, one in a tone chamber.

  • That is a beautiful instrument. Where was it made. what year, what maker, how many reed(blocks) or any other details that you can say?

  • I think there's some confusion about terminology here. Although Zydeco uses modern accordions and wet tunings, actual Cajun music uses 10 button, 2 bass note accordions (very similar to the first accordions made) with a very dry tuning.

  • Got a Hohner 72-bass, haven't played for ages though - might get it out gain soon...
