Heh, well I understand the Morelli is a far far cry from a legitimate performance instrument, but for learning the basics of operation it beats a 400+ investment for a college student. Since this reply, I've got all the bellows flaps colored a deep red and have used my dremel tool to inlay a diamond cut edge on the ends. I've given it the nickname "Dreadbellows", and so far can play twinkle twinkle little star, and a pirate shanty .

Figured I could tack this question on with hers: I just got a lowbie Morelli concertina, and it feels like the bellows are covered by cardboard. I've colored a few of these red with a sharpie marker (just to see how it looks) and it looks awesome. Will it damage my instrument if I were to color all the cardboard this way? Mind you, the actual bellows I'm leaving alone.
