So much personality in those notes wow

Great job giving an example of the instrument prior to any work. It gives us a great starting point as viewers. It's in almost the same condition as mine was when I started working on it. I bet that Pancotti is going to be a real gem when you've finished with it. The other Pancotti that Mike gave to you is truly beautiful. The voice is very deep and full. As always, I look forward to watching this series of videos and listening to the final product of your labor. You're a very talented fellow, Rich!

Thanks Mark!
You are very kind
How s your accordion ?
I hope you are still enjoying playing it 😊

@@richedwards9646 I'm still playing it nearly every day. It's a joyful experience for me. As I continue to play, all of the bass buttons came completely free. It's not in perfect tune but it's good enough.
