LASTWOODSMAN | 04-May-17 09:48 | Bob - this is my most precious family heirloom - an Italian-made Western Style Piano Accordion with 120 base buttons, a "Vivona" Tone Master, built in 1967, that I took lessons on from 10 - 15 yrs old. I got it back when I was 50, ten yrs ago, and took it up with a vengeance ... |
LASTWOODSMAN | 04-May-17 09:55 | Bob - Toralf Tollefsen (1914-1994) was a world famous, Norwegian born Concert Accordionist who played Pietro Deiro's Concerto for Accordion at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England - lots on the web about him. He played mostly on England's BBC Radio live, which made him a big celebrity in the late 1940's and early 1950's. If I may ask, how old are you now Bob? and did you ever hear him play live on the radio? |
rgood | 04-May-17 10:08 | Hello LW - Thanks for the Accordion pic - very nice inst.! I had an olde Italian make - Borsini (cannot remember the actual spelling) it was a 120 bass also not 180 as I stated before! I was born in 1943, and heard Tollefsen on recordings owned by a friend of mine. |
rgood | 04-May-17 10:10 | ...did you fly the aircraft on the fishing trips? |
LASTWOODSMAN | 04-May-17 10:38 | Morning Bob - I did not fly the Beavers - I was just a fishing guide. Where is that Borsini accordion now? It is worth money ... All of the old accordions built pre 1967, or so, had very high quality free air metal reeds made in Germany, not like the cheaper accordions today ... |
