This polka sounds a lot more complicated. The notes under the video say "Organetto Alparizio Palma in Fa# musette del 1995". I think that means the organetto is tuned to F#? Sounds like it would hard to play in that key.
Fun stuff, even more so for me since I've been switching over from piano accordion to button box. Just started working on some Italian folk pieces.
BTW, I figured David would have flagged this. A scacciapensieri is a jaw/jew's/juv's harp. Pretty funny idea for a polka.
In Sicily they call them a marranzanu which is probably what David knows them as.
