Hi to all, My Strunal 50/1 satisfies me, since David Desbois set it up. The sound is decently good. BUT, next summer I plan a third trip to Boston... and Upton Bass is just 100 miles from there. I should NEVER drive those 100 miles. Their entry level Bohemian is great for the price. NO, NO, don't go there. Sigh... P.S. I still play the button box. At my last trip to Boston, I went to the Button Box store to trade for a fine B/C accordion made in Germany. Boston is a risky area for musicians I guess.
Upton price gouges on rehairs. Spend your money on lobster and going out to hear all the great musicians up here! I've lived in Boston for a year and half and never stopped in Mystic. I went back to Texas to get a rehair at Quantum.
