Hello “Boxers”
I am thinking of going to a BCC# Jimmy Shand type accordion. There are a not a lot of choices around. Baffetti has one (37 treble, 80 bass)and Fantini has the Sharino model (43 treble and 105 bass). The Fantini sells for twice as much as the Baffetti offering. Does anyone have a thought on why the Fantini is so much more costly that the Baffetti?
thanks in advance for any assistance
Ask your question at http://forum.melodeon.net/index.php
A few of the regulars there play BCC# and I have seen some discussion of Fantinis. IIRC they are a much higher quality instrument.
You’ll also find BCC# boxes made by Hohner and Paolo Soprani.
As Don pointed out in your other thread, Castiglione Accordions usually have some used boxes in this style in stock:
