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. |
