I believe you mean the Bandoneon.This is an accordion like instrument that is often used in Brazilian music,witness the works of the late Astor Piazolla.Then again you just might be referring to the Bandolon,a mandolin like instrument and a part o... | |
| How good is a Cary PH302? I have owned both the Cary and the ModWright. Hands down the MW is a far superior unit,especially with the internal power supply upgrade which enables this amp to read very deeply into the vinyl source. On the other hand the Cary unit is very "fla... | |

| RIP Hank Jones Elegance,passion,beauty and humility.Skills beyond description.a career than spanned over 988 sessions from 1944 to 2009 and still a few uncounted.An awe inspiring contribution to the music.Perhaps only rivaled by bassist Milt Hinton who recorded ... | |
| Record Club vs. Store purchased records I am old and used to get the Columbia House record club records in the 60's under various names and throw away the bills when they came.My sister taught me that and i later returned the favor by bailing her out of jail for selling pot.The Columbia... | |

This is the constant bugaboo in buying used records,the visual grading.... |
