Zephertone by Patti Bros. This was their Flag Ship Model. Has 2 sets of HAND MADE reeds in the cassotto, bassoon & clarinet. 5 sets in the bass. Has very mellow deep sound, great for old Standards.
47 full size keys in the space of a 45 key Giulietti. How do they do that? They slip the 2 black keys in the ends within in the same foot print of a 45 key. Because of this and the lighter treble side, it is much more manageable than one would think.
The ten treble registers are motly repeats because there are 3 combinations on the treble that can be engaged, Bassoon, Clarinet and Bandoneon Master. Bass registers for 5 reeds are standard configuration. Comes with straps that have high mileage and good carrying case.
Some history: Patti Bros were cousins to the LoDuca Bros in Milwaukee. They interchanged a lot of the accordion parts between the 2 family companies. Loduca is still in business but not with accordions. What a shame for both these great accordion makers.
