Still got 2 accordions in their boxes here.
Ones quite old by Hohner and the other I think is made by Scandelli, all mother of pearl on it, looks great.
I've been wanting to check out these new ones by Roland but not had the time yet.

T3: Rise of the Tyros's

Chicago area accordion enthusiasts.

Dick Contino, his son Pete, and daughter Deidre will be performing in Chicago area tomorrow at the Addison Italian fest. Its a big 3-day thing but Contino is there only Thursday. (i'm pretty sure he always plays acoustics but i'm not sure about his son)

The title of the thread was "do we really need the T2"

Dont really know what else to comment DNJ as a PAX owner i obviously dont !

Its not too late Donny for the -NEW- Titano days, with midi/arranger setup built right in!
New Titano Donny

There goes the 3000!

Heck, you can get to the job on a motorcycle.
Strap the squeezbox on to your back and put the Z5500's in the saddle bags.

Darn, I'm tied up Thurs. Looks like I'm gonna miss 'em again. Oh well.

Chas, you're in luck.
He's playing here (in Berwyn) for the Berwyn Italian fest on Sep 2nd, no lie.

BERRRWYN???

I have not seen 1 or heard 1 live, the Roland that is.
Keyboard Mag did a test on 1 and they gave it good marks.

I've listened to the company's audio samples and i watched/listened to the video demo and I personally heard or saw nothing to get excited about. Especially for the money they want.

Hey MrEd, I'm there. Can't think of a better way for a Brother to spend a Labor Day weekend than at an Italian fest filled with accordian music.

chas

Chas, if you can hang around Berwyn until the following week, Sep 9th, Fitzgerald's Nightclub has the group TDA! (Those Darn Accordions)

DOUBLE-HEADER!


BEAKYBIRD...Are you out there?
Where are you playing with the Tyros thru these weeks.
I'd like to come out and listen.

I'm in the mood to just lay back, relax, and hear some good music entertainment over the higher energy from the shows, although these particular performers are great and its a fun time, and they don't get to Chicagoland that often ....
Ahhh, i guess i will try to fit it all in, Beaky too, if you're around
