It's not a problem for me (I cannot speak for others). Thanks for sharing the catalogue, Felix !
MADness is everywhere...
Thankyou
I must admit that my saltarelle pastourelle III improved hughely a lot after the last service of adjusting and tuning made four months ago by Stephanie Simon, and it has still things for doing next time she comes here to Galicia. Then sure that my saltarelle was better than I thougth when I bought it but it hasn't a good service for years.
The problem with accordions maintenance is that they loose gradually, almost imperceptively, their playability, and humans adapt ourselves to it, until a certain grade when playability is really bad. That is the reason why the good accordion repairers are so important!
Some thing similar to small holes to the bagpipes bags :-)
I like a lot the darker sound of saltarelles, I have one pastourelle III in Bb/Eb, one Connemara III in D/G, one Tramontane in A/D, a Castagnari Mori in C/F, and the last adquisirion a Pariselle - Mash course 14 basses in G/C that I love for small size, low weight and playability.
