Reply To: vibrandoneon Ballone Burini
Hello Andrea, unfortunately the Ballone Burini Vibrandoneon (black plastic our Wood version) was never released. It was basically a Vibrandoneon in name only. It was based off the original Ballone Burini “Eolina” The Eolina came in two version a blow only or blow/draw version. The blow only you can play chords with no issue. With the blow/draw version, your chords are short as much air is lost with this reed setup and this becomes very difficult to play long chords, but you can play a Melody as you blow and continue the melody as you draw making this great for slow long melodies. I request a preorder but was told after many attempt’s that it would not be released as they were going through financial and company issues. I spoke with Guido Tononi the creator of the original Vibrandoneon a few years ago and he mentioned that had tried the new version and was pleased with it and that he was working again with Victoria. I have been on their site many time checking to see if a new Vibrandoneon was ever released, as of today none has been released. I did see on his Facebook page that he had a new version of the Vibrandoneon. I own a Vibrandoneon and an Eolina and love them both, but prefer the tone of the Vibrandoneon, Just Me.
