The right hand side is the real king on these - the sense of pure raw power I get from mine is exhilarating when I play it ...
To what would you attribute this raw power?
Are there design features that are unique to this box?
I think it's fairly simple to be honest: Binci a mano reeds, open pallets, large holes, a keyboard mechanism which lifts the pallets a good distance from the soundboard and presumably a well engineered set of treble reedblocks to make the most of all of the previous points.
As I said before that really is let down by the bizzarre single reed block which holds all the reeds for bass and chords that severely wastes the potential of the good Binci reeds in there by sending the air in all kinds of strange directions and through chambers and holes that are too small to do justice to them.
But the box is all about the right hand really. I've had it in my mind to design a completely new left hand to screw in place that could make it in to an absolute winner ... 12 spoon basses seemed like an appropriate match ... but it's a lot of research and skills to apply in order to even attempt a prototype!
