Anyone got a Cheapie !!! or is it mainly serious Accordions on Here.

[Tom]

I have two ladies sized Sonola PA 41/120 (LMM & LMH) accordions, which I frequently alternate with my full size PAs.
I often think, they're all one really needs

Oh yeah, love those Sonolas!

Its amazing just how many different types, sizes, makers, styles, tunings etc etc there are.

I honestly had no idea !!! at all.

As we have a cheap Cinese Accordion, which to me sounds rather good.

Though I am becoming more aware of its limitations.

I wondered do any on here have a Chanson, A Baile, Stepanelli, Parrot, Startone, Black Diamond etc.

If you do what do you think and do you use them much.

Some of these seem to cover various countries in Various Guises with interesting Italian-ey sounding names much of the time.

I wonder how many different factories there are that make them, and how they vary.

Also are there any still made in Say Spain, or France, or other EU nations you might not think off ?

Many Thanks.

Greetings yes I do have a modern Chanson 72 bass 3 voice purchased from Allodi accordions about 9 months ago. As an improver with a good ear it sounds well and I am pleased with it except for the weight of about 8-9 kilos. The bellows are very airtight and the keys are fairly quick action. Considering the great value of £585 or £625 Inc strong trolley type case it suits me and my folk dances and vocal accompaniment aims. Ps very fair part exchanges at Allodi. CJ.
