Re: Castiglione triple row

Hi,
If interested, I'm sitting on a Gabbanelli 3 reed in most excellent condtio that I may part with. It was recently tuned by the Gabbanelli's in Houston.

Re: Re: Castiglione triple row

I have a Castiglione 4 reed FBbEb.
I bought it for Zydeco.
I like the sound,
but it is too heavy for me.

I think the action may be a little lighter on the 3 reed model.

I'm going to sell it sooner or later,
let me know if interested.

Re: Castiglione triple row

There is a good close up video clip of Chubby Carrier playing some bluesy runs on his Gabb. I found it on the forums at the Reyes Accordions web site. I still haven't purchased a triple row, nor have I even held one. Soon, very soon though. I'm waiting to see if I can get a sweet deal on a new Panther. Two reeds per note, but I'm no pro. Check out the used accordions listed in the forums there as well. I like playing Cajun music on my La box, but I also want to crank it up with my blues brother (literally)on occasion.
