Had a look at the Black Diamonds accordion website:
http://www.blackdiamondaccordions.com/home/60-bass-button-accordion-c-system/

The China made 60 bass CBA models, what type of Cagnoni reeds are these? Durall, is this the lowest quality of the Italian Cagnoni range? Or midprice reeds?

This Netherlands music shop offers for 548 Euro a 60 bass Chinese made CBA accordion (c-system or b-system):

Seems to be a similar model as the Black Diamond CBA 60 bass.
Anyone knows if these Holland/Dutch retail Chinese accordions also have the same quality Cagnoni reeds inside as the Black Diamond?

And what about the reeds inside a Chinese Scarlatti 60 bass CBA ?

Its important to know the quality of the reeds for wind pressure on the reeds and the quality of reed response to air pressure.

I read here the Cagnoni firm in Recanati works together with the Chinese Baidi company since 2012
http://www.accordions.com/china/baidi/2012/13th_august.htm
The Baidi company has a close association with Cagnoni Accordion Reeds of Italy and the professional level Baidi accordions are manufactured with Italian reeds supplied by the Cagnoni company of Italy.

What about the quality of the bellows of the Black Diamond accordions, is it good quality, fluent bellows change directions? Or rather stiff when changing bellows direction?
