Accordion workshop models

A video demonstrating a few models made in a Swiss accordion workshop

Akkordeon-Werkstatt Untersee am Bodensee

The white 24 bass PA 120 sounds beautiful

Interesting - handmade PAs along the lines of the "craft" melodeon makers? Sound very nice though is that a big hiss from the white instrument on the press at 1.30?
Thanks Stephen.

Heard the airy sound at 1'30", can't really hear if the sound is coming from the accordion or if it's an external sound.
He could have accidentally touched the air release button on the left hand side, don't know.

The video says the mini brown diatonic and the white PA come also as amateur luthier kits, they can be ordered by "do it yourself" accordion makers.
Their Swiss website shows other interesting accordion models, creative ideas.

It's one of these small scale accordion companies offering kits to customers who want to develop their own ideas about accordion models.
Don't know how far they want to follow customer's demand about accordion parts and toolkits, but might be attract a certain type of DIY clients.

The lucky accordionists living in this region can join in for accordion building courses for amateurs and professionals.
