Wow thanks guys for these comments, it's motivating !

losthobos > it is an A. Ballone Burini (Italy), tailored with Ziricote solid wood. This is in fact an incredible accordion !

Hi Jeremy,

Superb sounds and great playing.

I am one of those dinosaurs who listened to the old musette tunes from about the 50s onwards, until it almost died out in the late 60s. The music in those days, as you'll probably be aware, was a lot easier to learn and play for guys with limited ability like myself.  

The "jazzy" accordion seems to be what's keeping the accordion in France alive, and long may it continue. 

I have two French accordions, a Maugein Mini Sonora, and a Cavagnolo Vedette 5, but just wish I could play like you do! 

You have a new subscriber to your YT channel!

Your presentation is very well done. A brief discussion on your audio setup would be welcome. I noticed that you used a separate microphone for the bass section. A key problem with recording accordions is that the sound projects in different directions for the treble and bass. While I have determined a good position for my own recording microphone, it is obvious that a second microphone is necessary to correctly balance the sound from both sections of the instrument.

Yep two microphones are mandatory, otherwise you wouldnt be able to do any kind of mixing after the recording. Im using Prodipe AL21 for the left hand (a microphone that Im also using on stage), and Prodipe STC-3D MK2 for the right hand. Both are really nice microphones, for an affordable price !
