Accordions

[PAT A RALPH]

Hi all,

Few know that I started in music related business as and accordionist.
Played in an Accordion "Symphony" -- all accordions except percussion and we
did classical works as a matter of fact I arranged a piece for the
accordions from an orchestral score and I just went blank on the name and
composer.

Also last year at MITA Seminar, we had accordions equiped with total MIDI
voiced instruments presented and like you said Kristen, $12,000.00 units.

Hey Rob,

I´m actually going to study accordion tuning this summer in Finland.
Many people think that $4000 is a lot of money for a "squeezebox" but you
should hear the accordions we´re selling here for twelve-thousand dollars.
They´re top of the line Italian concert instruments for serious CLASSICAL
players.

Yes, it would surprise a lot of folks to hear "Das wohltemperierte klavier"
performed on a great accordion by a real artist!
