We've seen some old videos of how good Tony Lovello was when he was late on in his life... in the mid 50's he was THE man... check it out!

Notice how he switches to the piccolo reed at 00:53 and master at 2:28. It looks like a 140 bass model to me.
Here's a more recent photo:

If you had a shirt like that, you could probably play that fast.....

I was thinking the same thought. Gotta get me one of those!

The thing that struck me was that by that time in history, he had all his trademarks in place that he carried through right to the last time he wore an accordion, the vibrating right hand, the massive bellowshake technique, the flashing fast fingers... nothing short of awesome.

Amazing control over his accordion!

I saw Tony play many years ago in person at the Accordion Connection in New Hampshire...amazing. I liked it when he played with the Three Suns
