Seek MIDI Music Files for Player Accordion
By David Repanshek

I completed building a self-automatic electric solenoid operated
accordion.  The accordion itself is a 1943 Galanti.  Air pressure
is provided by an integral super-quiet vacuum motor.  The solenoids
are played using a MIDI decoder 128 driver board and a SD MIDI Music
Controller.

The problem is I have no good MIDI music files for it.  What I'm
looking for is someone on this group who has a MIDI file of some
music that was created from an actual accordion that was MIDI equipped.
There are hundreds of MIDI files I have found on the net that are
called "MIDI-accordion music" but they appear to be have been created
on a MIDI keyboard and not an actual accordion.  The difference is the
timing and the subtle expression a real MIDI-accordion makes.  Thanks
much to anyone whom can help me.
