Tempat Download Film 3d Gratis. I just took delivery of an Armoniosa accordion and, believe it or not, I can't find a serial number on it. The accordion is made by Cooperfisa, if that gives anyone a clue. I traded in my Ciao reedless and two other boxes towards the purchase price of this instrument and all of them had easily visible serial numbers. Somehow, my dealer is not responding to phone calls (maybe he's away?) and I just emailed him.
I can't insure this accordion without a serial number. Any suggestions? Alan Sharkis Excelsior960 20:30.
Alan, is this some kind of early April Fool joke you are playing on us? Well the co-operativa was short lived under that badge it seems to me. Lord knows which factory fulfilled what orders, or even fully which factories provided what resources at any given time.
Never heard of armoniosa as a label - but then i'd never heard of sartori either, and within a few months saw another one exactly like the one i'd stumbled across and geez this must be one whale of an Accordion for you to swap out $5 grand or so of your collection plus some money no doubt. You really let your beloved Ciao go?
Next thing you'll be telling me you made the deal sight unseen naah - you gotta be pullin' my leg ciao Ventura Ike 21:23.

It can be marked by you in various ways. Replacement value has to be determined by other means. As a collectible or as a musical instrument, either would not necessarily have a serial number. Just because a lot of accordions have a serial number, does not mean that they have to have one. Call your insurer for more information.
Whoever at the insurance company may have told you it has to have a serial number is probably in error, and since this is the U.S.A. There are many insurance comanies to choose from if one of them happens to be too stupid to handle your account. Alan Sharkis 06:39. Hello Ventura, Nope, I'm not pulling your leg. Cooperfisa (or some other ownership with that name) is alive and well in Vercelli, of all places, and producing these babies. The dealer with whom I worked is a professional accordionist who has trained with some very famous technicians on repair and on midi and pickup installation. He does restorations, too.
He's now selling Armoniosa as an exclusive in the US, and yes, he's also selling Scandalli, Dino Baffetti (alhough he sticks to their line of diatonics) and, more recently, Settimio Soprani. He's also selling the Music Tech reedless and the Scandalli/Paolo Soprani EWA reedless, as well as used instruments. However, he didn't install the midi and pickups on my Armoniosa. Instead, he had the Cooperfisa factory send it to Master Productions in Castelfidardo to install the midi and mikes. When they finished, they actually shipped it back, as I understand it, to Cooperfisa to be checked out before sending it here. Maybe that's where any paper documentation that contained the serial number got lost, because the dealer never received it. I almost simultaneously realized that having five accordions in the house and rarely playing most of them was nuts and discovered that there were some strange things that the Ciao was doing.
For example, on accordion sounds only, holding a bass button down for more than a fraction of a second produced a very strange sound, indeed. It was like all the reeds associated with that bass button sounded initially, and then all but one would cut out. Quickbooks License And Product Number Keygen Crack. Upon furrther investigation, I learned that this technician/accordionist would take trade-ins. I also found out that the body of the Ciao was made in Korea and that the funky sounds in the bass were the result of bad original samples (go fix that!) So, one accordion, really shot and in bad shape went to my teacher, who wants to experiment with it, and the other four, the Ciao, a Pancordion Video, a Titano Standard and a twelve-bass I was saving for my granddaughter were traded in for the Armoniosa. By the way, my granddaughter is very happy in the fourth grade, singing in a chorus and taking clarinet lessons.
So discovering where the serial number of the Armoniosa might be on the instrument itself is my next task. It isn't on the back of the instrument.
I removed the backpad but not the cover of the master bar linkage. It wasn't there. I lifted the treble grille.
It wasn't inside there. So, I could open the bass side (it's held by screws through the feet) and I could remove the cover of the master bar linkage. But I dont have a tool that will let me pull the bellows pins without scratching the instrument. Maybe my teacher does. I'd also hate to go back to the dealer for further disassembly (he's more than an hour away, but that's my final option.) Now, about the midi that was installed -- it has built-in sounds with a list almost identical to that of the Ciao, but of much better quality. It can also run an external expander or arranger module, as can most of them.
It has input for the accordion, but also for a volume pedal which is included, and for a sustain pedal and a glide pedal, whatever that is, and the usual midi out, earphones, and left and right audio. It also has what looks like a midi connector and is labeled 'EXT OUT' which is supposed to be for some future function, but the dealer couldn't remember just what that was.
It just seems unusual to me that the factory wouldn't have put a serial number on a paper document that followed the accordion wherever it went. On the other hand, this dealer is fluent in Italian, and when he ordered the accordion he spoke Italian to the factory. My wife and I were there. Maybe his relationship with the factory is similar to that of Hasidim in the diamond district, who carry out every transaction with a handshake? I would like to get this baby insured and the serial number is the only thing holding that up!
Alan Excelsior960 20:04. Sounds cool the Master website has their new MIDI with sound maybe that's the one they put in for you - looks like their newest thing for pulling the pins without scratches, i took a thin metal piece, actually an aluminum slot cover from a computer (leftover when you put a card in a pci slot) made a hole then put felt on one side - so i can slip it over the bellows pin head and then get the mini-pliers forcefully on the pin without touching the finish of the body the plier is like a mini wire cutter but shaped with the edges faced like a big farriers shoeing tool. Channelock and others make 'em i found one reference to the brand but there must be more models that this guy had in his store >Cooperfisa (or some other ownership with that name) >is alive and well in Vercelli, now you mention it, i seem to recall some years ago the Scottish Gary got a new box from them and really liked it.
They were part of a teaching facility at that time. The old CooperFisa I remember was way back, similar to the federFisa arrangement. Some group effort trying to keep healthy during slow times.
You know those efforts come and go with the economy >I also found out that the body of the Ciao was >made in Korea.. Well i warned everyone about that factory a decade ago, and that i saw Korean Bodies getting slipped in and hidden under italian reeds and names. And those horrible E.
Soprani's - my God - and the 'importer' who pushed Ciao so hard here, he had to have known after he worked on a few. So now they have hidden themselves under even more layers of resurrected old marquee names. Almost make people think Paolo and Silvio would be happy now to be resurrected like century dead Vampires in the same accordion factory and of course the history gets re-written on the internet to suit. But over there they don't forget - there are still a lot of 'Partisans' as loyal as ever and you can get the scoop if you stop and listen. I mean Paolo burned down his brother Settimo's factory in the dead of the night, and Silvio invited him to bring his workers over to his factory and run a shift overnight so he could fill his orders and stay in business. Out of kindness and friendship or out of his desire to stick it to Paolo?
But they wanna pretend like these 2 mortal enemies would live in the same house today and not cut each others throats? Yeah right anyhow, hope you enjoy your new box ciao Ventura Excelsior960 07:12.

However, it's not all that new. I think it was designed some years back. What puzzles me is that there's an extra 5-pin DIN socket on mine, labeled 'Ext Out' which is NOT the midi out port that's used to connect to an expander or arranger module.
The dealer says that it's for a future function, but he doesn't remember what that function might be. I wrote to Master to find out what it's for, but haven't received an answer.
The midi unit comes with a volume pedal and has jacks for sustain and glide pedals. I know what a sustain pedal does, but I've checked all kinds of references to a 'glide' function in midi and there's a lot of disagreement. Have you ever used one? If so, can you tell me if it's for portamento, glissando or pitch bend? I've seen all three references for 'glide.'

Maybe sone day. >i found one reference to the brand >>but there must be more models that this guy >had in his store >As of now, Emilio, who's a professional accordionist as well as a dealer and tech (trained by Aldo M., accordiong to my teacher) doesn't really stock any of the new accordions he shows on his Web site, except for a 48-bass Armoniosa. He custom orders everything. But he has many used instruments and some antique instruments awaiting restoration.
He will sell a used accordion if somebody wants it, but his advice is to buy new, if for nothing else then the five-year warranty (and his profit, I suspect.) >>Cooperfisa (or some other ownership with that name) >>is alive and well in Vercelli, >>now you mention it, i seem to recall some years >ago the Scottish Gary got a new box from them and >really liked it.

Yes, I found references to him and his connection to Cooperfisa on the Web. Gee, is there a link between that family and the Borgias?:-) >anyhow, hope you enjoy your new box I am enjoying it tremendously.

I use it often when things in midi need to be explored or diagnosed. It usually comes together with another program, Midi-YOKE, which can be useful if you need virtual patch cords, which I don't at this time, but maybe someday.
In any event, Midi-OX not only shows what is input to it, but what it outputs, and it has a ton of things like filters, mappers, etc., built in. The problem is that I don't always have a computer handy. But, there's another way. There is a whole bunch of little in-line, programmable gadgets from a company called Midi Solutions. I got their Event Processor Plus when I was having trouble with the constant stream of volume change messages from the Ciao overrunning more important data to my DAW. So, I programmed it to filter out all of those messages, and relied on my ability to add velocity or volume changes after recording.
I also program to map the Ciao's rather unconventional use of numbers to change banks to something that would drive the Ketron SD-2 in my computer system properly. By the way, I will probably do something similar to those two actions with the new Master Midi Play in the new accordion. >even if you don't use it for the defined preset value, >you could use it to trigger some other controller >and/or value using an in-line MIDI manipulator >well i guess that fella impressed you - though with >your knowledge of things, you could have ordered >something directly - or have they kinda banded >together over there to make that difficult again?

I've never accepted the idea of Craig's List or similar services, and the only guy I know who trades anything (definitely not musical instruments) on Ebay is far from beyond reproach. >ciao >>Ventura.
