It was very bright, and the mechanics were quieter and the keyboard had a better feel than the old Paolo Soprani, but the sound had little body to it and a very unsatisfying low-end. I did not like it nearly as well as my two older accordions. Are they a good value? I recently tried a Hohner Amica IV for a week and was very disappointed in it. Does anyone have any information they could offer about the quality of these accordion brands right now? I know they are both very "storied" brands, but it is not clear to me how good their instruments are right now. Since my familiarity with accordions has been limited to the two that I currently own, I have been looking online at new Paolo Soprani and Excelsior accordions. My question has to do with build quality and sound quality. I am in a better financial situation than I have been in the past, and while my budget is not unlimited, I may for the first time actually be able to afford a new instrument. However, more recently I have been thinking about purchasing a new accordion. I have no complaints about either of them. I currently have two used accordions I have purchased over the last 15 years-one is a 45 year old full-sized LMMH Paolo Soprani, the other is a relatively new (probably 10 years old) Excelsior LMM 37/96 instrument. I am, as this thread suggests, "New on Here."
