Yes, but it is a different glissando than you would get on a piano box. Listen
to Flaco Jiminez sometime on those little Hohner Corona type boxes -- they are
easy to gliss. on because they have the "flat " style keyboard. On a chromatic
accordion again glissandos sound different because "they travel a different
course" taking a diminished chord arpeggio! The 'step' fashion diatonic boxes
are tougher to gliss. on but they are still possible - I do them on several
numbers! They just won't sound the same because as I said "They travel a
different course" I think I mentioned that before out here in the newgroup as
advantages and disadvantages of one or the other type of accordion depending on
what you want out of them! Glissandos are almost always possible but will
sound different on the different accordions. Maybe you're not supposed to call
it a glissando if it is not on a piano type keyboard that I wouldn't know! but
the technique is the same ie. sliding from one note to another through all the
keys in between. On a piano box it is typically done on the white keys as the
black keys positions make it difficult to slide from one to the other.
Ciao! for now!

Sure it's possible. Harder to do than on a PA though. It's easier for
me to pull off on my Club or my Corso than on my Corona. My old Corso
has buttons that are round on the top and a very light spring tension
making it easier than my Corona which has angled button faces and a
heavier tension on the springs. The buttons on my Club, while not as
rounded off as those on my Corso, are made of a smoother material. If
there was one thing I could take off a Gabbanelli 3-row and put on my
Corona it would be the buttons. Gabbanelli's have such nice feel.
Someday when the level of my playing warrants it, I'd like to get the
keyboard on my Corona customized with nicer buttons and lighter action.
I don't think one can do a gliss as fast on a button box as you could on
a PA, which is merely a factor of the distance between the keys.

Cavagnolos are the only brand made in the Cavagnolo factory in France
and Gabanellis are made in Italy. There is no cross over. Cavagnolo
makes all the models they sell in the same factory in France. Many of
the other brand names sold in France are made in Italy.
