"I can hear signing Angels coming out of your accordion"
Francis Lemarque
It is by deepening his accordion knowledge that he became interested in its history, manufacturing, its morphology, tuning and new technological developments that he came to tune and repair his own accordion. To share his knowledge and passion, he created the MultiMedia Accordion Conference that he presented in 2008 at Montmagny.

Hi Jim,
To evaluate your accordion, please send me photos.
For me, the Internet or WWWeb is an important source of music and musical information that is otherwise arcane or remote. I enjoy that people take the time to record a performance on a street corner or tiny hall in some part of the world I may never visit.
Often these recordings are so poorly recorded or the “noise” so great that little that is actually musical remains. Even people intending to demonstrate an instrument and all its virtues often neglect to set properly for sound reproduction, or do anything in post production to convey the actual auditory experience.
I must commend Mario Bruneau for paying attention to these important details in faithfully recording the musical experience he wishes to convey. The sound of his accordion, or other instrument, is rich and vibrant. His performances are polished as if the Internet audience deserves no less than the concert hall.
Thank you Mario for sharing your great reservoir of talent and knowledge with anyone in the world who might have access to the Web and a desire for an uncommon musical experience.
All the Best,
Monty
