This is a very rare accordion. It was built as a professional concert instrument in a nice compact size. It features 3/4 sets of hand-finished reeds, full range of 41 keys / 120 bass buttons, and Stradella / Quint Free-Bass converter. The keyboard length is 17" and the weight is only 20 lb.  This one-owner instrument is nice and clean and will come to its new home concert-tuned to the original factory specifications.

• Very responsive Hand Finished Reeds
• 3 sets of treble reeds - LMH
• 4 sets of bass reeds
• 41 keys, 17" keyboard made from aged American walnut, white key tops with smooth edges
  
• 7 treble switches -  Bassoon (L), Clarinet (M), Piccolo (H), Organ (LH), Musette (M'H'), Polka (L"M"H), and Palm Master (LMH)

• Palm Master (LMH) - 7 different treble sounds
• 120 bass - 7 bass registers
• Stradella / Quint Free Bass Converter - robust design without moving parts - select between the two systems using the bass switches
  
• Amplified - simple design with one crystalline type microphone mounted on the treble reed blocks and amplifying both treble and bass. Volume control on the grill and 1/4" standard jack pick-up. The amplification doesn't work. Depending on the preferences of the new owner I could replace the microphone prior to the sale.
• Like new padded shoulder and bass straps
  
• Clean bellows with excellent compression
  
• Built-in bellows protector typical for the entire family accordion Titano/Victoria/Pancordion/PAN Italia
  
• Very good hard-shell case with internal padding
  

A custom built accordion with similar features and quality would cost a small fortune today (more than $4000). The free bass option allows for playing a melody line on the bass section and practically performing music as written for the piano or organ. The instrument would be suitable for young students or people with small hands. If you happen to have a talented child who likes to explore the accordion beyond the folk music and is interested in expanding their musicality, this accordion would be the perfect gift to help them advance in their music education.

There are two small marks and minor finish blemish from a name plate.












Please, note the accordion is concert tuned.
The "musette" switch is a modified M'H' reed combination with the slide for the piccolo reeds open about 1/3 and the clarinet
reeds open 2/3. As a result of the changed air flow the pitch of the corresponding reeds drifts flat and creates the tremolo effect.
Similarly, the "polka" switch activates a modified L"M"H reed combination with
the bassoon and clarinet slides open 1/2 of the range and the piccolo fully open.
