PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE THINGS!I don\'t really know anything aboutold accordions, so it\'s probably best you ask any relevant questions.
This is an interesting old accordion, I imagine it dates to the middle of the last century and is ornately styled with glittering diamante type glass gems.
It has loads of buttons, 68 on one side and 128 on the other. It also has a sliding knob (possible to let more air in) and two rows of sliding stops below the side with 68 buttons.
It is in used condition with a few signs of a working life, one button is missing it\'s mother of pearl type disc, a couple have possibly been replaced, it has the odd minor scratch. It sounds strong and hearty, but would probably benefit from a service.
The leather straps are nice and strong.
I haven\'t found out much about the company who made it, but have found the same model for sale in a specialist shop for just under 3000 euros, this one is without reserve, so grab a bargain!!It can be collected from Bath, or I can arrange delivery within mainland UK for £14, shipping to the USA will be around £75, India for £98, Brazil for £140 or £35 to Europe. Please email for other destinations.

I\'ve had a fair bit of interest in this accordion so here are some more details.
I\'ve removed the right hand grill and taken a photo which I\'ve added.
I\'m in no way musical, but have had a go at playing it. It sounds impressive, but not exactly tuneful in my unskilled hands!! As you squeeze it in and out, there\'s a constant background note (this changes when you slide the stop bars beneath the right hand buttons). I don\'t know if this is meant to be a background drone like bagpipes or a valve not closing properly.
On the right hand grill there is a small split in the plastic cover and there is a small plastic patch sort of thing in the rhinestones to the left of the \"Buzzi Freres\" writing. There is a bit of tape on two corners of the bellows, but they don\'t appear to leak in any way. All this can be seen in the photos.
Please ask any questions.
Good luck
