This is a rare Guerrini Polka King model, inspired by the famous Italo-American 5-Star model. The instrument features LMMM reed configuration and was designed for Cleveland style polka players. The 3 sets of middle reeds are tuned almost dry for the "punch" and dynamic range required for this style. (Listen to Alex Meixner's videos playing his Siwa & Figli Super Quattro compact accordion to experience this type of sound and see what such an accordion can do in the hands or a professional musician.) With this reed configuration one doesn't need many switches because they would be redundant. Instead, these instruments are specialized to provide the actual reed combinations that are used by the performer, namely bassoon, clarinet, musette, and master. This allows for an ergonomically optimized light weight instrument. The low-A bass reed configuration provides a nice tonal depth and fast response, so desired by the polka players.

The acoustic accordion is complemented by good internal amplification and a modern MIDI (installed in 2020). The amplification is independent of the MIDI electronics. This way you can enjoy this instrument as an acoustic accordion without any electronics, amplified accordion, or a fully orchestrated MIDI accordion. You can be your own polka band. Just add a MIDI module and connect to an amplifier/speaker. By the way, with this type of tuning the accordion can be good for many other music styles (for example swing musette or Balkan). The MIDI opens many possibilities to add not only other orchestral sounds but other accordion sounds (like tone chambered sounds or French musette) using a MIDI module.
