Excellent, both the box and the playing.

Lots of great music has been made on Hohners.

Very cool and very interesting, Jim.

This has got to bring you close to a complete chromatic octave of accordions, low G to dog whistle.

Excellent work. Nice to see and hear the finished project. Good on you. Keep searching flea bay and rescuing the good old boxes!

Nice work Jim, and great laid back playing.
I've noticed that you leave your pinky out of it and employ it when you want to make the box squeal. would like to get this effect into my playing but would have to re-train my fingers so that my ring finger was hitting the high end of the octave thus reserving my pinky. Is this something you had to go through?
