Crucianelli 3/5 Reeds LMH 9/5 shifts 19 inch keyboard 25.5 Pounds $1275
This profesional accordion is in excellent condition. The bellows is white when you open it and it is still a clean white. IT looks practically new and plays that way too. It has great compression, nice keyboard and button action. If you look at the shifts one says musette but it is a lie. what they do is to partly open the piccolo reed along with the clarnette which gives a different sound than clarnette alone and also different from having the piccolo open all the way but it isn’t musette. that said this also has all the normal shifts for a LMH accordion and it sounds great. Comes with a hard case and 1 year Warranty.

Italia 120 Bass / 4/5 reeds LMMM / 3/2 shifts / 22 lbs / $1495
Normally I wouldn’t bother with an accordion of this vintage but the previous owner took such good care of it that it was in great cosmetic condition. Also the keyboard was much better than they usually are on an accordion this old. So as I had spare time I would pick away at it. It has all new wax and reed leathers and a rebuilt keyboard that is fast and quiet. It has three palm shifts on the keyboard side. As is common with these old accordions each shift turns one or more reed banks on or off. In this case the bottom one switches the bassoon reeds on or off, the middle one turns off or on one of the clarinet reeds, and the top one turns on or off the other two clarinet reeds. So you can select one, two, or all three clarinet reeds depending on how wet you want the sound to be, and you can add in the bassoon reed too. They are located under the keyboard like a palm master. The end result is a very versatile accordion that is a pleasure to look at, play, and listen to. Compression is very good as well.
Weight is 22lb. Comes with a hard case and 1 year warranty.
Accordion Mic System $525.00
I have been working with a professional accordionist and sound engineer for 6 years to perfect a mic system that addresses the unique challenges of internal accordion mic installations. The 6 mics are installed in the accordion, as is standard , but with just a small ⅛” headphone jack installed in the grille. The rest of the system: preamp, battery, low battery/on light, volume controls, and stereo/mono switch, are all in a small black box that you can put in your pocket, clip to your belt, or mount via velcro to the outside of the accordion.
Because most of the components are contained in the preamp module, installation is much simpler, requires much less space in the accordion and fewer modifications to the accordion. This design development represents an advance not duplicated by other systems currently on the market.
System advantages and specifications:
-
Installation requires one small hole in the outside of your beautiful accordion for the 1/8” jack and two other small holes internally to get from the treble to the bass.
-
Mics can be purchased separately and installed in more than one accordion. Use one preamp module for all of them just by unplugging the ⅛” headphone jack from one accordion and plugging it into another.
-
Each mic is mounted on its own separate board so placement is much more flexible, accommodating tight spaces and allowing for even volume across the keyboard. This system will fit in any accordion.
-
All of the wiring is done during manufacture and is contained in the preamp module, vastly increasing reliability, and is tested by me before leaving my shop in Vermont
-
The preamp has been optimized for very high sound quality and low power consumption.
-
System is turned on when you plug it into the accordion.
-
A low battery light warns of 10-20 hours of operation remaining.
-
There is a stereo/mono switch that can accommodate all sound systems, and independent bass and treble volume controls.
-
Battery life is over 150 hours.
-
Preamp dimensions are 3.3×2.5x.9 inches
-
60-day money back guarantee
-
One year warranty materials and workmanship
