Diatonic.news has already once reported regardingVito Valleriani’s creation – a nativity scene inside an diatonic accordion. Vito has collaborated with the Italian Union of the Blind.
Vito recounts:
In the past I have already made nativity scenes inside the bellows of the accordion, but now I had a new idea, instead of making the usual nativity scenes in the bellows, why not make a nativity scene inside the accordion?
The inspiration came to me while thinking about a nativity scene in an accordion on display in the museum in Castelfidardo. From there I started looking for the accordion, the right bellows, the materials and the way to make it, and I am proud to have succeeded, but it would not have been possible without the precious advice and help of my maestro Gabriele Scardelletti, who advised and supported me right from the start, and I also thank Della Noce Organetti, Massimo Chiappins Falconi and Marco from the bottom of my heart.
Diatonic-News is pleased to represent this creation to the world of diatonic instruments with best Wishes and Congratulations to Vito Vallerani.
