Very nice expressive use of dynamics and articulation. Impressive and not always seen in YouTube accordion videos. Amazing talent here for sure. Gotta love how his shirt matches his accordion…..

 

[Pipemajor]

Amazing performance. He seemed to be transported to a different world.
Those treble and freebass runs were incredible. You could tell he had been practicing his Hanon excercises!!
That accordion sounded magnificent. Couldn't make out the name.
I did notice the rather unusual straps which fitted under the armpits. Hadn't seen them before.

Impressive ... and playing, I believe, a C-system Free bass... a bit different when everyone and their mother is on the Bayan system.

It was a super shirt - I am on the look out for the same!

It was called " Mengascini" - I agree it sounded lovely in his hands.

I believe, a C-system Free bass

Yes it was!

OK new forum rule... all new member posting priviledges are suspended until you prove that you now own THAT shirt!

The shirt was the first thing I noticed first also.

Now I’m enjoying the performance.

A jaw dropping recital! Not been on the Forum for very long but it has opened my eyes to the variety of accordions there are, the range of music that can be played and the outstanding quality of players both professional and amateur there are out there.
