You do know there are two Gabbanelli companys? One based out of Houston and the original in Italy. Family falling out of some kind.

www.gabbanelli.com Italy
www.gabbanelliaccordions.com Houston

Elio(s) Gabinelli who actuaslly makes Gabinelli accordeons and Brillingtons (grossly overpriced)

And then there is the Houston operation who farms out
their orders to "other" makers in Italy

Get two side by side and open them up

How the Houston Gab organization gets away with their pricing based on the materials and construction ; a total mystery.
