it does sound like the accordion is a bit sharp but i think its just the natural sound of an instrument that makes you think its its a bit sharp... plus being panned so left makes accentuates the effect
worst signature evar

Kip,
I gave you the benefit of the doubt and re-listened to the demo more carefully. The accordian is definitely out of tune with the piano. (Whether or not the accordian is out of tune with itself, is not my point.) It becomes most obvious right after the intro, in the first couple of bars of the first verse. If we assume that each instrument is in tune with itself, then it would appear that either the piano or the accordian is not tuned to the same standard pitch, whether it's A440 or not. From where I sit, I think the accordian is sharp.
Sorry,

Cnegrad,
Your comments are most welcomed.
I believe the chord you are referring to is a major 7 chord. A major 7 chord is a somewhat dissonant sounding chord by its nature, and the accordion chord voicings on this chord that you are referring to are of lower notes on the accordion. By their nature accordions do have natural harmonics and overtones, which adds to the character of accordion sounds.
I have been a professional accordion musician for over thirty years, and the part you are referring to right after the introduction sounds very natural in terms of tuning and sound to me.
All the best,
Kip McGinnis

I received a couple of inquires via email from a couple of gentlemen who wanted to know what sampled guitars were used in this demo. Alan actually used two different sampled guitars from the "Vintage Jazz Guitars and Tenor Banjos" collection in this beautiful arrangement of "My Cherie Amour." Panned to the left is the electric Gibson archtop guitar thumb samples with the floating DeArmond pickup, and panned to the right in this mix is the acoustic Gibson archtop guitar thumb samples. Both instruments are playing different guitar rhythms in this arrangement.
The accordion used in this demo is the Bell Symphony accordion with the clarinet switch selected, which is one set of middle reeds in the tone chamber of this instrument.
