Re: Castiglione vs Dino Baffetti - any opinions

I saw that they were rebranded, and asked him specifically who built it, and what brand the reeds were. He would only say built in italy, and tipo a mano reeds.

Thanks David. Is yours 3 voice or 4 voice?

Re: Castiglione vs Dino Baffetti - any opinions

Mine is a 4 reed: LMMM

Re: Castiglione vs Dino Baffetti - any opinions

At best, John Castiglione is evasive. His customer service is a notch below Gabbanelli.

Castiglione boxes have been made by several Italian firms over the years.

Re: Castiglione vs Dino Baffetti - any opinions

Dino Baffetti also makes the SALTARELLE line of button accordeons.

Karlos' Dino Baffetti boxes have genuine a mano (hand made) reeds.
What I have seen in the Castiglione boxes are tipo a mano (like hand made reeds but are not)
