I play for a couple of Morris sides and I wanted something a bit different, and smaller, than my Serenellini. I was lucky (or unlucky as my bank manager would think) when I popped in on my way home from the Leeds Morris Bank Holiday weekend in May to try out a few boxes and found the Binci. Even before it played in, I found it hard to believe what a great attack this melodeon had. I was hooked and played it over the summer and everyone who heard it was impressed how great it sounded ( I do stress 'it' and not 'me'). I have now had the accidentals replaced by low notes as I find it a bit more useful for the Morris. This is a seriously great box to play and really does stand out from the crowd. I am now banned from taking my wallet with me when I visit!
