Petosa AM-1000 Leggera Concert Model Accordion

This is a new Petosa accordion. The Artist AM-1000 Leggera model is a full size professional accordion with hand made reeds and double tone chamber that weighs only 23 lb! The instrument features excellent mechanics and balance. Long gigs will feel a lot easier and more pleasant. Here is a link to the Petosa web site with description and a video demo:

This is a beautiful accordion. It has been gently used and still looks like new with only minor wear on the bass strap. You can play very soft or very loud and the accordion will respond immediately. It is a pleasure to see the classic AM-1100 model redesigned for optimal weight and balance while retaining the tonal clarity and brilliance.
