[Tango-L] Bandoneones -- smaller instruments being made for little hands

["Christian Lüthen"]

I do not get you, Igor.
My point is not to sell them to trophy fishers but to those who want to play bandoneon - either in Argentina or the rest of the world. 
A doble A from Argentina is most likely a 142 tone "tango" one, so therefore most likely those who buy them to play them will also listen to tango music.

But you get me into re-thinking again and you're right: it's even worse ...
If someone who wants to promote bandoneon playing sells doble A's to trophy fishers he not promoting but sabotaging the bandoneon heritage! 

Sad regards,
Christian
