Have owned one for over 10 years........and gigged with it really hard.....love it.......nothing comes close
 
Having had my Poeta for a few years I bought a completely different Saltarelle Bourroche. Much smaller and lighter, totally different sounding boxes.
Poeta =soft, fluffy, gentle but big, heavy
Bourroche = punchy, bright, not nearly as bassy but small and light.
I wanted a box I could carry about and take to pub sessions, also one that didn't stand out quite as much (it looks a bit like an extra large melodeon!).

I'll be at the rally on Oct 7th if you want to try them both. If anyone has a ballone burini replique I'd love to try that. I played one a year or two ago and absolutely loved it. I'd buy one tomorrow if they hadn't gone bust!
