Last year,I acquired a Baffetti GLII,4 reeds, black, very cool,red bellows, very masculine , big machine , probably one too many reeds Dwight, but so versatile.
Heavy, nah!,I play seated anyway, don't feel the weight at all.
Anyways, I'm learning some Zydeco, through, Coret Ledet instructional triple row DVD,and I've concentrated learning some of Roy Carier&the Night Rockers, Blues numbers like the ones on the " Offshore Blues&Zydeco" disc, and I can say that I have put my inimitable "stamp" on them .
But for me having so many different sounds trough the different switches use, offers far more possibilities as I grew up lessening to french tunes( France), and the tunes of your upbringing area never leaves your mind.
Anyways, the box is GCF tuned, witch most of Carrier tunes are, it's also dry tuned, as I'm not too fond of the factory tremolo offering.
I'm quite advanced on crossing over the 3 rows and it's a fascinating instrument to learn how to play.
Also knowing how to play competently a one row has helped me making the transition to a 3 rows.
The only smidgling I have of playing cross-row on my GC is the Irish tune "The Butterfly", and then only the beginning, which I love. I'm going to do some close listening to Ambrose Sam and try to get some of his stuff.
