Serenellini Imperator, nice instrument!
Fair play to that performer - that's not easy music to play. She makes it sound easy though.

They are good. You have really nice accordions. What is in your full collection?

Titano Stroller, Titano chambered Virtuoso, TItano Cosmopolitan, Petosa AM 1100, Serenellini Regina Gold, Excelsior Symphony chambered, Excelsior chambered model 40, Siwa&Figli Noce/walnut, Bugari 288 Gold Plus, Bugari 288 Silver Plus, Pancordion Baton, Beltuna Leader Fly, Scandalli Super VI, Zero Sette, a few student accordions and a Beltuna Spirit V on order. I think that's all of them, I like to try different ones and rotate a few in my collection as well.

I think that's about as good a collection of quality accordions as I have ever seen. Amazing. 
Here's a few others to think about for the future, you are clearly a wealthy man, so I won't hold back
:
Pigini Caruso
Brandoni Infinity 149c
Bugari G1
Victoria Poeta standard bass (or quint converter)
*If you were into serious free bass I would consider Pigini Nova & Sirius or any Scandalli Conservatorio's.

Thank you, they are fun to play, and all a bit different. I'm not sure what I'd purchase next, may even sell a few, not sure. It's hard to play them all lol.I think that's about as good a collection of quality accordions as I have ever seen. Amazing.

That Beltuna Spirit V you have on order is cool! Is it the Classic or Luxury version (with the mother of pearl inlay on the grill)?
What are your favourite 5 instruments in your collection?

I was torn between what options to go with, and ultimately decided to go with black celluloid with gray inserts on the bellows. It's the classic model, as the only difference was the crystals on the registers. It has the GHV reeds, should be a great accordion. The Beltuna Leader Fly is also very nice. I'm not sure what my favorites are, I like the Titano's for the older ones, and probably the Bugari's for the new ones.

It's difficult to choose...
I just play what I need:
1. Bugari - musette tuned LMMM for traditional dance music
2. Pigini - double octave LMMH with converter for composing new music with free bass.
I experimented with owning the Gola & Super VI, but ultimately realised that I didn't need them. Sometimes the thought of owning something special is more appealing than the reality.
I might buy one more instrument in time, but only if it suits my music.

I understand, they are nice to have but totally overkill. I will probably narrow down my collection as there isn’t a huge difference in many of them.

These are nice things to have. A lot of people spend huge sums of money collecting watches etc. I think there is nothing wrong in having nice accordions.
The Beltuna Spirit V will be all the accordion most people could ever want. It's musette and double octave rolled into one.
If you are working on learning quint free bass, either keep the Titano or get a nice Victoria Poeta maybe...
Send the rest over to me, I will look after them for you
