From the bellows movement it's not diatonic is it?

Yes - it is diatonic. It looks like a miniature Steirische box. Watch closely - I think there is a Gleichton on the middle row, but all the other buttons seem to be different on the push and the pull.

I was watching the bass end, and I'm not sure if that is diatonic.

Strictly speaking, the term 'diatonic' as used in this context is incorrect.
I know what you mean though; are the basses unisonoric or bisonoric?
I believe that they are bisonoric, that is to say you have a different note on push and pull.

Very interesting. It seems that the main premises are in Italy, in South Tirol, not far from Bolzano / Bozen - beautiful part of the world. Nice video on the main page or here on YouTube, all in German though, with a nice regional accent from the artisans.

BTW the name "Harmonika" is a giveaway that these are diatonic boxes. They do also make "Akkordeons" (PAs).

Awesome! Did anyone ask for the price already? It's probably more like a lily though. It weighs 1.9 kilo (a Giordy only 1)

That region of Italy used to be Austria, but due to a little realignment after the war, it became Italian territory. From Bolzano (Bozen) up the the border, the main language is still German. I have loaded wine from vineyards there, where the Kellermeisters are the full lederhosen, Tyrolean hat brigade.
Many of them refuse to speak Italian, although they understand it, and if you speak to them in Italian, they usually reply in german. It's quite comical.
I have emailed them asking for a keyboard layout, and prices.

I recall the reverse happening when I was up there, nearly 30 years ago. Shop assistants would be nattering in German, no doubt assuming that they were not understood by the tourist (me). But when I addressed them in their language (my German being far better than my Italian), they tended to clam up and answer me in Italian...
