Hello
I am looking for a used accordion ...; There are many Fratelli Crosio on the market ... ?? Do you know why?
Are there any models to avoid?
Do you have an opinion on this brand?
Thanks for your input

I played on 3 Fratelli Crosio. They were recommended to me by my teacher oscar mondial. He swore by Fratelli Crosio. You can find them quite easily for less than 1000 euros. I sold them at that price. You can still find craftsmen to tune them. Yes, they go out of tune, especially if you don't play them anymore.

I still have my fratelli crosio super junior, 80 bass, 2 way keyboard vocal, a Stradella, with the crest. It was bought in 1964 for my 8th birthday. Only once overhauled, retuned, a few skins re-tensioned. It's a legendary brand. I have a pupil who has just bought a 120 bass, 3 voices right hand, 2 registers left hand. I tried it out. Frankly, 1000 €, well tuned recently, it's great. Why are there so many of them on the market: the brand died out about ten years ago, the owners are getting old, can't play anymore, there must have been a time when one family in 5 had a bass.

Next, we played the accordion. And Fratelli Crosio was the trademark of Verchren, Aimable, Yvette Horner, ... Do the math. There are also Cavagnolos and Paolo Soprani, a matter of taste when it comes to musette tuning. Mine has been re-tuned American.
Hello I need to mark certain notes in the right hand on a button accordion
What should I do? C? G?
And what technique should I use? Cross out the notes (with what?)
Use a transparent sticker? A "pearl"
Thank you for your advice.

Hello Pinpin
Sometimes, for starters, you can find C and F, but it is possible to replace the knobs with ribbed knobs. (more aesthetic).
possibly here .

Hello, the notes most often marked are C and F. Avoid scratching the keys, use self-adhesive pads or scratch pads (thicker) instead.
Enjoy the music.

C and F in the right hand C E and Eb or LAb in the left hand. This is generally what we find most often.

I had the top of the C and G keys changed on all 4 rows.
The repairman put granite. It's very nice. When I play, I can feel the relief. Cdlt

Hello,
I have a Cavagnolo LB12 Odyssey Orchestra 3 model 2008 non pro that is to say non customizable, it has the 20 rhythmic paterns + 20 original stereo sequences. There are also all the sequence packs, i.e. 80 more.
The only problem on these Odyssey models especially the Odyssey 1 are the contacts, mine was completely overhauled in 2013, battery (beware it is soldered), Replacement of contact bars and all contacts right hand, ditto left hand, new cord etc... cost 610 Euros. No problem for 9 years.
It is possible to replace them with "hall effect sensors".
Retrofit currently proposed:
UPDATE ODYSSEY "RETROFIT REVELATION MD" *
- Replacement of the right hand contacts only, by non-contact contacts in the REVELATION MD version (NON-dynamic touch retained).
- Review of digital records.
- Revision of the original cards and replacement of the elements considered at risk.
- Replacement of the backup battery (only if - Within the framework of our partnership, this intervention can also be carried out by HEXAGONE international.
Recommended retail price: 890 Euros
You can find all possible udpates here: https://daurelle.com/odyssee3.html
I am very happy with it after all these years, just take care of it.
The new Digit is much more elaborate but the price is related, one day maybe....
Sincerely

Hello pinpin,
The Cavagnolo LB9 LB12 are accordions without "mechanical" acoustics, everything is managed by an electronic card, i.e. magnetic contact button or the new hall effect sensor system (magnetic).
If you have a fully acoustic instrument you can also "midify" it:
