This
Mengascini "Mignon" model is very well built. It is a rare 3-reed
version of the more typical 4-reed 37/96 accordions we often see. In
addition, it comes with low-E bass and 5 sets of bass reeds.
This gives the very rich harmonic response of low and high harmonics
and the bass sound of a Hohner Morino. The accordion weighs only 20
lb and the LMM treble reed configuration can be suitable for variety
of music styles.
The accordion looks beautiful with
clean chrome plating throughout, has an excellent compression and a
lively sound. It has been serviced at the Accordion Gallery and
comes with a full year warranty.


The keyboard was serviced in November 2023.




The solid wood body has aged nicely and enhances the harmonic richness of the tone.



Let's take a look at the bass side...


Very impressive reeds with low-E (!) configuration, precisely voiced and comparable in quality and response to the reeds in high-end converter-bass models made today.
