.....The acoustical instrument itself is custom make by Pierre Maria in Italy
Concerto has sourced accordion bodies from various manufacturers
over the decades... specifications have varied widely... for many
years Serenellini was his primary source.. as i recall 10 or 12
years ago he switched to one of the small Boutique houses.
PierMaria is a French (family owned) Brand with a shared interest
in one of the newer "factories" in Italy, which came about after
SEM dissolved
in addition to the primary brands built at that location,
bare-bones accordions are also sourced there by several
of the "boutique" finishing houses located in the CastleFidardo region
"custom made by PierMaria" ONLY applies to an accordion with the
PierMaria nameplate on the front and sold through their dealer network
sometimes people get a bit carried away with wanting to
hook the cache of a major marquee to their house brand
and stories get embellished and claims are insinuated
if you have the money to spend, doubtless a Concerto can
be ordered which will sport the finest state of the current art
of italian accordion building... but of course the same can be
said for any American owned brand name
Concerto, however, has their unique set of electronics
to add to the box, which is exclusive to the brand...
that is what makes it unique and that is what you either
"buy into" or not
personally, in many ways, i still miss the simplicity
and power of the original Cordovox
