Unusual Bass Configuration on this Guilietti

[Mike K]

Is that a 5 row bassetti above the stradella? just saw it for sale on reverb. not that I am going to buy it.

I don't know the model - to me it looks like a free-bass system (aka MIII).

It's 4 row bassetti above 5 row stradella. That was actually not all that uncommon with the older Giulietti accordions (meaning, before convertor).

To me the astounding collective wizardry here makes this forum feel like the

I feel like a newly hatched chick watching an andean condor soar high above.
And yes, like much of life: so many wonderful things to learn and so little time.

"...and so little time."

Would it have been that we were fully aware of that when still young.
