Tutti i risultati sul sito NAO. Sabato scorso dopo una giornata piena di gare, si è tenuta una masterclass da Frédéric Deschamps che è stato molto apprezzato. Questa è stata seguita da una superba Celidh da "Highland Fling" condotto dal Vice Presidente NAO Hon Graham Laurie.

![]() This accordion is a real loss as its a potential collectors item with the serial number: 16C0000-01 being the very first Bugari-Evo accordion manufactured. This instrument was being retained for a museum / promotional purposes and Bugari-Evo Manager Marco Cinaglia is appealing for public assistance to have the instrument returned. This actual accordion is pictured right, being demonstrated by Sergio Scappini (Italy) in Frankfurt only a few hours before it was stolen. Please send any information to Marco Cinaglia email: marcocinaglia61@gmail.com |

![]() The portrait is made from two well-used but old and no longer playable instruments, transforming the recycled instruments into something new. It demonstrates the complexity of the many parts that make up an accordion, and it is a fun and appropriate tribute for World Accordion Day.

Anyone that is signed up to Martynas Levickis’ mailing, details on the World Accordion Day site, by Friday 6 May will be in with an opportunity to win a limited edition printed t-shirt.
