Kinds

I believe two kinds of organetto are mixed up in this article

 1. Organetto (= portative organ  from middle ages / renaissance)
 2. organetto (= member of accordion family = popular folk music instrument

Type 1 organetto has pipes (mostly open ended ) Type 2 organetto has a (metal) reeds

I agree. I have altered the article to reflect this, and moved the references. However, I haven't found much authoritative information on the Italian organetto. Perhaps someone else could provide some. Martin Turner (talk) 12:30, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is already an article on the portative organ. I am not knowledgeable on musical instruments, but they look the same, the medieval orgnaetto and the portative organ, in the photos with the articles. If they are the same,could be the articles be linked in some appropriate way? Prairieplant (talk) 10:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Could play only one note at once"

I don't think that's true. I can think of no mechanical reason that a portative couldn't play more than one note at once. I'm an organist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iohannes Grammaticus (talk • contribs) 23:53, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Making the page about the accordion

A Wikipedia page cannot be simultaneously about two unrelated subjects. There are two possible ways to remedy this situation: this page can either become a disambiguation page that links to portative organ and to a new "organetto (accordion)" page, or this page can become about the accordion and link to portative organ. I have chosen the latter option.

Of the 60 pages that link here (although admittedly many of those only do so because of the reed instrument template) only three refer to a portative organ, and another one is unclear. The rest all refer to a diatonic accordion. Additionally, the French and German versions of this page both refer exclusively to the accordion. It is clear that organetto is most commonly understood as an accordion, and therefore it seems better to me make this page about the accordion rather than make it into a disambiguation page.
