I didn't much like the Hohner Xtreme. The buttons move a bit laterally, which always annoys me.
The specs for the Baffetti say it's about 15 lbs. The Roland is 11.5 lbs. Ok, 30% increase in weight, but, it's 3.5lbs. I want to try one out before I buy. I'm going with the LMMM, not LMMMH.
I turned it on about twice now. The stock batteries
went dead the other day, at which time I discovered
that the music store didn't include the AC power cord
for the AC adapter :-(
And I think there's supposed to be headphones included
which aren't there either :-(
But, they did leave the NiCad AA's in the instrument!
A stark reminder of how nice it is to not need
electronics :-)
What else did they leave out? There are a number of things that should have been included: earphones, a variety of cords (USB, midi, etc.), power supply, replacement graphic thingies that go on the front.
But, batteries are NOT standard issue. So you got a freebie there.
Why would the tuning be good on one Baffetti but bad another?
I know a couple people that have the Latino IV. They got them from Larry Miller. I played them, and I wish I had one. I don't think you have to worry about the tuning.
The website mentions mussette for the GL boxes, and nothing at all for the Latino. Perhaps someone will have something I can lay my hands on at the Cotati Accordion festival coming up.
What did you have in mind as far as tuning? I can get them with musette tuning if that is what you are looking for. Baffetti offers MANY different tunings for the different generes of music.
I had a Baffetti GL IIA FBE, with LMMM reeds, purchased new from Larry Miller with internal mic back in the day. It weighed 18 lbs., significantly heavier than the Roland.
