Exclusive accordions

[Guernseyman]

Hi everyone. Anyone know anything about 'Exclusive Accordions'? They have John Leslie written on the side so I'm wondering if these are-badged for 'accordions of London' from another manufacturer?'

The 2 Exclusive accordions I've seen were made by Beltuna. JIM D.

Are these the ones worth about 7 or 8 grand that he gives you to try when you go in there with 500 pounds?!?

I think they are badged for him by a 'secret' Italian factory (I don't know which one) but obviously good quailty, the ones I've seen had a 'squared off' bass button array and overly glittery decoration which wasn't to my taste. Double bassoon though mmmmmmm.........
