Hey Jim,

You might want to check the number 3 or 5 on the push; it sounds to me like the reed "bottoms out" when you really push the bellows hard at the ends of some of the phrases and the pitch goes way off tune. I don't know if it will damage the reed or not but it sounds a bit forced at times. Or maybe it's just the little speakers in this laptop! Otherwise I enjoyed the playing and the tone of the accordion.

****, sounds nice. How many years have you been playing?

Jim,

Who won the $20 on the name the brand? You never did post the winner.

I do that on purpose for an effect. I'm pushing the reed beyond it's pitch. You can do that with most accordions if you really want to.

Jim
