A while ago I read a French article about the best known accordionists (pre Galliano), and various names were mentioned.
Among those names, who were considered as the best ever to have come out of France, was Gilbert Roussel from Calais.
He was indeed a fantastic player, but he woke up one day and discovered somebody had tuned his accordion like this:-
It was described as tarte, which I understand is French slang for naff, or crap if youre North American.
His older Cavagnolo had slightly weird tuning as well, but it was amateur naff compared with that one.
Please thank me for posting a clip which ran for less than 2 minutes!
