Hello from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

[StargazerTony]

My name is Tony, I'm a month shy of 70 years old and just started my accordion journey in February 2017. Played the clarinet in school and later the organ, until it broke in 1987. Have a 41/120 Accordion called an Artisto. It's made in Italy and has really big sound. Can't find anything about it on the internet, but am assuming it was made in the hey days of accordion making of the 1950's or 1960's by one of the many small family builders who couldn't survive the electric guitar. A pleasure to be here, (actually a pleasure to be anywhere). I've been lurking here for several weeks and have found many interesting threads.

"Benvenuto Tony" ;
A pic' of your box might help me identify the Italian maker. The name is from a dealer that imported them from the late 40's to the early 60's.
