This is something that I was thinking about recently, and this seems like the perfect place to post it.
What gives the organetto it's signature tone? I've played chromatic accordions with a wide musette, and I just can't duplicate that tone. Is it the size/construction of the box? The tuning? The push/pull technique? More pressure on the bellows? All these combined? It would be convenient to play this music on the CBA, and I could even change bellows direction based on the tonic and dominant chord changes, but there is something unique about the organetto that even other diatonics don't duplicate.
