Hi,
When did Giulietti go with the large G on the nameplate area (not grille) and who made those boxes?
Thank you

Giulietti Name Plate Question

I have one of these, a model F74.
It's only an LMH, and from the l970s I think.
From what's been said on the forum, the Giulettis with the large letter G were made by Zero Sette.
I've had mine (second hand) since the early 1980s and it's never had any problems whatsoever.
One thing that immediately strikes one about this particular model is the extra large air vent (the air button itself is of normal size).
Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate it. Would you consider that a student line accordion or is it a ProLine accordion?

I don't think it has superior quality reeds but the design, build, quality control, fit ( it's an adult size 41/140, yes140) and durability are all excellent!
One of my teachers played exclusively Giulietti accordions. I tried to play his a few times years ago, but it was a custom left hand free bass so I couldn't really get into it. I seem to remember that the keyboard felt a bit funny to me. He had the top of the line box because he recorded with Leon Sash and he was Leon's best student so he always got the best accordions from Julio.
How is the action/speed of your keyboard?I don't think it has superior quality reeds but the design, build, quality control, fit ( it's an adult size 41/140, yes140) and durability are all excellent!

You're giving me too much credit!
I'm nowhere near good enough a player to notice something like that!

Hence no u-toob videos??
How is that letter G attached to the box? Is it glued or screwed on? I think it detracts from the looks personally.You're giving me too much credit!

Hi Tony, I just came across this entry from five months ago. Who was your teacher? My accordion teacher played Giulietti's , took lessons with Leon Sash, and had many stories about the man. I took lessons from the gentleman in the late 90s /early 2000s. He has since moved from a DC suburb back to Chicago, where he offers lessons and performs.

Mine has a small G and J on the nameplate and a "Handcraft" plate on the grille. What can you tell me about those models?
