Very interesting to a non-accordionist, to hear the difference on all these instruments--- especially with a familiar tune. Thanks for showing.

[@MagisterLupifilius]

Just came across this. It's amazing to hear all the differences from accordion to accordion!

🎉 Borsini ❤

[@patricklenane3083]

Hello Pat, I just love the change up; the rhythm and the ease with which you play no 15; you like that one don't you 😊😊

[@PatBartonAccordion]

I do 😁, and thanks a lot!

[@colincreane01]

Some lovely boxes there Pat ,and a few I've never seen before , like the Rauner (lovely sweet little box ) the Morelli 👌 and that serenellini but the little Erica and Club IV were able to hold they're own among the best of them , those Cairdín are a great box as is the Borsini ( mighty box ) Absolutely love your style of playing , still a few left that believes in playing at a normal pace . 👌👌🇮🇪🎶🎶👍

[@PatBartonAccordion]

Thank you, and greetings to you in Argentina! It's amazing to think that Irish traditional music is listened to in so many parts of the world. 😀🎵

Brilliant video Pat! I love your playing, and it’s wonderful to be able to compare all these lovely instruments! (Hard to beat that Paolo though .. that classic sound 😊)

[@colincreane01]

The little Hohner club and Erica were able to hold their own against the best of them Pat , who tuned the little club ? Its a lovely sounding box . Great video.

[@mandosandradios]

Excellent presentation.

Thank you 😀

liking the ornaments..great to hear the different tones

[@PatBartonAccordion]

Thanks Dave 😃

[@redwolf7929]

I've an old red serenelli g#/g.ive heard they are rare.Are they? Its very out of tune ,a p r object box but I'm handy with most projects .Would it be a shame to get it r e tuned to b/c or d/c# do you think? Or should I tune it to its factory setting?

[@PatBartonAccordion]

Hello Matt, you're right, g/g# was popular in the 70s, and is quite rare now, and also sought after. As to changing the tuning, I think you are better off leaving the box as a g/g#. It would take too much filing to convert it to b/c or c#/d, there wouldn't be any reeds left by the time you're finished filing... if you want to convert it, you'd need to put different reeds in, either b/c or c#/d. 🎵

[@redwolf7929]

@@PatBartonAccordion hi and thanks for your advice .I will tune it to factory again I have another question if that's ok as the g/g# is not common it really interests me to know what type of music were they intended for?

[@davidschiller4748]
