This accordion has 3/5 reeds in LMM configuration, with the typical 41 treble keys and 120 bass buttons (in Stradella pattern). Patti Brothers accordions were made in Italy by Lo Duca, with the US headquarters based in Milwaukee. This particular accordion exhibits a remarkable baby blue color along with a rather petite 16 inch keyboard. I love the tones and treble registers of this accordion, a testament to the high quality of the tuning and design of those fabulous Italian reeds. This instrument is light enough in weight that you could easily stroll with it, as if you were serenading the guests at a wedding party or atmospheric restaurant. The sheet music for this Sea Shanty is from Volume Two of "Das Grosse Akkordeon-Buch" (Le Grand Album pour l'Accordeon), published by Edition Melodie, Anton Peterer Music & Books, Zurich, Switzerland. All of the four volumes in this series of books have been collected and arranged by Herwig Peychaer.
The Hat
The hat I am wearing is a reproduction of a Naval hat worn by sailors in both the Northern and Southern Navies during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

Port Columbus is a sensational source of historical information, books & CD's, authentic reproduction uniforms of the period, marvelous gifts, ironclad ship models, and superb pieces of china for the setting table. The Museum features Living History re-enactments with authentically clothed soldiers, sailors and civilians of the Civil War era. It is an award-winning resource for history buffs and Civil War enthusiasts of every age.
