This Hohner Musette IV was made in Switzerland and I like to think it's even nicer than the ones made in Trossingen in Germany where most were built. Now Hohners are made in Taiwan and are widely regareded to be not as good. - Discuss!!!
I'm using the musette switch which engages 3 reeds one in tune, one sharp, and one flat. Here are a couple of videos featuring musette accordions and talking about their tuning.

Give me back my pound of flesh
I’ve had enough and so I snap Yes this is war: I now enlist
A thousand others march in step To sweep away this dreary mist
That gnaws at cultures ragged edge To favour those that keep the pledge
To curve the sour artistic space To never try to cut straight through
The clever layered excellence That pushes out the pure and true
To do the things they say we need To bow down to the god of greed
Give me back my pound of flesh and
Bring to me a pint of wine
For I have suffered consequences
I have trod the bottom line
Watch me, I’ll give you a sign
Those who bully, cheat or blag And those who gave up all control
Have choked the system long ago But carry on their desperate role
The irresistible desire For gold, renown and status higher
It drives the surly creatures down To lower levels while they start
To Cheat the system with their lies, They’re picking at the bones of art
I used to think they weren’t aware but now I know they just don’t care.
Give me back my pound of flesh and
Bring to me a pint of wine
Blood will thicken, bones will rot
Before you break the things that I call mine
I’ve lived in stranger times than these Solutions come as some surprise
But how can revolution fail To capture quite so many eyes
So few are gathered in the park But there must be a crucial spark
And when they feel the real wrath That finally ignites the fuse
To blow away this cinema Then one time we will just refuse
All that stuff that they arrange and on that day it all will change
Give me back my pound of flesh and
Bring to me a pint of wine
When we all run out of tether
That’s when we finally join together
Watch me, I’ll give you a sign
