Italian made

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.
