Wonderful video showing all the hand labor going into these fine accordions. I have a Vignonni....5/6 hand made reeds with double tone chamber, 4 chin switches, 14/7 registers, stradella and converter B system. An incredible machine....when I pulled the pins to look at the inside...it was remarkable. Fantastic workmanship and of course plays and sounds like a dream.

Great video, it's so nice to see the craftsmanship and care that goes into these fine instruments and seeing this gives me even more pleasure in playing my Vignoni.

Hi There this is Mr C. T. Boxill-Harris, I was wondering if they need to do the exact same version of Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime, why don’t they just Replace the Synthesiser String Sound to an Musette Accordion sound, and also Replace the Xylophone Sound to an 5 Times More Deeper Chime Bell or Even a 7 Times More Deeper Still Drum Sound, Because it is Still my Very Very Very Very Favourite Song Ever Since I was about 11 Years of Age Thank You 😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏

I was at "the factory" at Via Garibaldi 4/6 several times last year, and 4 different times this past September when I went to pick up my new accordion. There were never any people working there. There is no sign outside. I'm not sure who/where my accordion was made. I was very disappointed with the quality.

[@pdebra]

That factory closed down a few years ago already. Fisart/Vignoni are now made somewhere in France, or at least the brand name is now owned by a French company. I looked for Fisart/Vignoni in the fall of 2018 and the building was for sale. There seemed to be nobody there.

[@RobertKarlBerta]

@@pdebra They moved to France and are now known as Fisart/Vignoni. Mine was built about 25+ years ago and has Fisart on the accordion and Vignoni on the straps. It is a gorgeous accordion in sound and build. Mine was built to spec of Peter Soave and has the top Antonelli reeds.... 5 treble LMMMH and converter free bass in B, double tone chambers.

What tuner does he use? Thank you in advance

Голосовые планки не делают?

[@MichaelSmith-on1ig]

the workers not wearing any safety protection made me cringe. Why isn't the employer enforcing goggles and earmuffs? Not to speak of them pushing the workpiece over the table saw with bare hands.

[@CloudyWishes]

Maybe they ALL have common sense, imho many do not have or practice Common Sense...

[@CharlieAbel]

I'm nae sure gloves would protect you against a table saw. 🤣

[@MichaelSmith-on1ig]

@@CharlieAbel Nobody said gloves here. There are these wooden handles you use to advance the workpiece with. I don’t know the right team 😀 it’s like a stick with a notch at the end to get a grip on the workpiece and move it on the sawing table. Every professional wood worker I know advises people to use them.

[@CharlieAbel]

@@MichaelSmith-on1ig Ah, I know exactly what you mean now. I had picked you were meaning safety gloves from the 'bare hands'. I've seen a lot of people with missing fingers from these saws in Scotland over the years. especially the older generations before the safety measures were used. Usually the pinkie and fourth fingers. I shudder to think about it.
