Larry and others,

This recording was done on the $150.00 Morelli (key of D) accordion.

The Morelli D is practically the same as an Arriette, but I think it's actually somewhat cheaper in quality than the Arriette.

The recording quality sounds a little crappy and high pitched due to the fact that this is a rough recording, nothing is adjusted. My playing is also a little rough on this cheap box!

Regardless, I still love the sound of this cheap box!

I don't suggest you buy one of these accordions unless you've know how to loosen the stiff buttons. Much harder to do than on any other box I have. Makes you appreciate your handmades! Definately NOT good for beginners either.
