New Year Newer Box

[Pianoman1]

Traded in my old Arietta 11m for a nice Verdi 11 with midi Not sure what I can use it for but will have a go

Bought from Mr Allodi - charming fellow and very easy to deal with

Looking forward to playing the box

That's exciting! Hope you'll be very pleased with it.
You've now got more registers and some nice low reeds to play with?

A Verdi II (the version with white registers?) is a very nice instrument. Very robust. Used a lot by professional entertainers on stage.
Not sure how robust the midi is but as an accordion it is very reliable.

If it's as reliable as Emilio Allodi you're laughing :tup:

I was surprised that the 96 bass version is not as heavy as I thought it would be
To me great sound and much easier to play

I approached a number of PA retailers but Donald my teacher told me to go t Emilio and selected the box for me based on my budget and preferences I am very grateful to him for his input

Pictures or we refuse to belive you... haha!

The Verdi II are indeed quite popular all over the world. I've seen accordionists from Canada, USA, Czech Republic and (of course) Germany so far, and in each case it was a professional using it. Some Verdi II look so old, but what a beautiful shape!
