Jim Besser Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This concertinist is giving up a brief experiment with melodeons, so I'm selling my beautiful Dino Baffetti D/G special - the one with two bass stops. Standard configuration, 3rd button start. Very good condition except for one of the original straps, which is badly frayed but serviceable. Very strong sound, a great Morris and session box. Very reliable. Extremely light and easy to play. Will sell with the original hard case and a very nice Fusili backback soft case. I'd strongly prefer a US sale, since I am not an experienced shipper. $1100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Selby Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'd very much like to get that, but I'm not in the US. Can we discuss through private email. srselby@atarn.org ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I find it interesting that you describe it as "standard layout, 3rd button start", I admit I've only ever played two Black Pearls (very nice too) and they were both factory-spec 4th button start. Does that suggest that US and EU "standard" layouts are different, or is it just chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that suggest that US and EU "standard" layouts are different, or is it just chance? Black Pearls are normally 3rd button start and I would be very surprised if a BP was built with 4th button start as they are 9/10 button boxes, so 4th button start would severely restrict the second octave.

Graham S Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Quite right, Lester; the two I've played were Black Pearl IIIs, which are 21-button. and both were bought new by their respective owners with 4th button start. It failed to register with me that the 2-voice model in only 19 buttons. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
