oggie concertinas and sound (49) RE: concertinas and sound 26 Jun 10


In the Bandoneon world the "Holy Grail" is Zinc reed beds and proper reeds, which means pre 1945. Thereafter they used accordion reeds and that distinctive sound went. There are now a couple of makers who have gone back to traditional bandoneon reeds and zinc plates (and charge a lot for them) but most post war bandoneons (even though they look traditional and everything else is the same) don't sound like Bandoneons should.
