LMMH. 120 BASS. DOUBLE TONE CHAMBER. 11 TREBLE, 6 BASS REGISTERS. 19 1/2 KEYBOARD. VERY LEVEL. IT WEIGHS 27.8 LBS. I AM SELLING FOR THE ORIGINAL OWNER, A PROFESSIONAL, WHO PURCHASED IT LATER IN LIFE. THE BELLOWS ARE CLEAN, TIGHT, AND THE BELLOWS TAPE LOOKS LIKE NEW. IT HAS THAT "NEW ACCORDION" FEEL; JUST LIKE THOSE 2 REED STUDENT ACCORDIONS YOU COME ACROSS. I SOLD THIS SPRING, HIS PAOLO SOPRANI "ITALIA", WITH A SINGLE TONE CHAMBER, WHICH HE PLAYED FOR MOST OF HIS CAREER. HE HARDLY PLAYED THIS ONE. IT IS A BIG ACCORDION, WITH A BIG SOUND. IT WOULD BE WELL SUITED I THINK FOR A CLASSICAL MUSIC VENUE. LIKE SOME VERY GOOD ACCORDIONS, IT ALMOST "SINGS". THE MM HAS A "HINT" OF MUSETTE. EVERY NOTE AND BUTTON PLAYS PROPERLY AND IS PERFECTLY IN TUNE. THE TUNING IS SO GOOD! ABSOLUTELY 100%. THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ACCORDION WHERE HE MUST HAVE RESTED ON A WOOD FLOOR, AND MOVED IT HERE AND THERE (SEE PIC). THEY PROBABLY COULD BE BUFFED OUT AS THEY ARE NOT THRU TO THE WOOD. THERE A FEW VERY, VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES ELSEWHERE BUT ONLY IF YOU LOOK VERY CLOSE. THE BELLOWS SHOW ABSOLUTELY NO WEAR AND ARE TIGHT. THE SNAPS HAVE A CREASE IN THE LEATHER FROM SITTING AND COULD BE REPLACED. ON THE INSIDE, THE LEATHERS ARE VERY FLAT AND THE REEDS LOOK LIKE NEW. THE CASE IS EXCELLENT, WITH BRASS FINDINGS, AND WHEELS, BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE OUTSIDE (SEE PIC). I HAVE SHIPPED ACCORDIONS TO JAPAN, ISRAEL, SOUTH KOREA, SWEDEN, ITALY, PORTUGAL AND MORE. I ISOLATE THE BASS BUTTONS; FIT THE ACCORDION SNUG IN THE CASE WITH BUBBLE WRAP; BUBBLE WRAP THE CASE  AND LAY IT HORIZONTALLY  TO DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT MORE EVENLY IN A DOUBLE WALLED CARDBOARD BOX THAT I BUY FROM A BOX STORE. FROM CANADA TO THE U.S. I USE UPS. THEIR PRICES ARE REASONABLE, AND IT ARRIVES IN 4 BUSINESS DAYS. THERE IS A BORDER FEE OF ABOUT $50. WORLDWIDE I USE FEDEX. CURRENTLY THEY OFFER A 20% DISCOUNT. ALSO THEY JUST TOLD ME, FOR DECEMBER, FUEL SURCHARGES ARE DOWN, DUE TO THE DROP IN THE PRICE OF OIL. TO EUROPE THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $525. TO BRAZIL THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $800. I PACK ACCORDIONS THE BEST I CAN, AND TRY TO FIND THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND SAFEST SHIPPING CARRIER, TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS. YOU CAN HEAR IT AT 416 4446572. THANKS, KEN. Place a Bid!
