Band Members: Me and my accordion, skip this bit unless you are an accordion nerd!!!
Hi fellow nerds, I play a Beltrami accordion built for me by Claudio Beltrami of Stradella in Italy, If you want something unique e-mail him....he makes great "off-the-shelf" accordions but "tailor-made" accordions are his speciality (Website: www.beltrami-fisarmoniche.it ) It has King Major MIDI which sends the right hand notes, left hand chords and basses on different MIDI channels. (though this is not used on any of the tracks above) and a Sennheiser system of mics (3 on the right, one on the left) inside the case (but NOT in the bellows!) for accoustic amplification. I use a Zoom Guitar multi-effects pedal, mostly Flange, Echo and Distortion with occasional Pitch Shift.
Influences: I like loads of stuff...mostly rock, folk, jazz or pop. I've recently realised that I owe a lot of my playing style to Tony Banks (Genesis) and Jon Lord (Deep Purple).
