LMMH. 12 TREBLE REGISTERS,1 REPEAT, 5 BASS REGISTERS. EXCELLENT CONDITION. SINGLE BASSOON TONE CHAMBER. HANDMADE REEDS. 19 1/4 KEYBOARD, VERY LEVEL. WEIGHS 23 1/2 LBS. SLIGHT MUSSETTE. IT IS AN OLDER MODEL BUT HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SOUND, 100%. THE TUNING IS PERFECT ON BOTH SIDES; EXACTLY IN TUNE WITH EACH OTHER. I COULD NOT FIND ONE NOTE, FLAT OR SHARP. THE BASS SECTION SOUNDS AS GOOD AS ON ANY ACCORDION I HAVE  HEARD. THE HARMONICS ARE BEAUTIFUL. THE INSIDE IS EXCELLENT. NO RUST ON THE REEDS. THE LEATHERS ARE NOT DRY AND QUITE FLAT(SEE PIC). THE WAX IS PERFECT, EXCEPT FOR A FEW CRACKS BELOW THE SURFACE ON 1 SET OF BASS REEDS.  THE ORIGINAL CASE IS EXCELLENT; VERY SOLID; WITH BRASS HARDWARE AND WOODEN HANDLE. THERE ARE NO SHOULDER STRAPS. THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BASS SECTION, A FEW ON THE BACK AND A 1/4 INCH CRACK IN THE FINISH, BUT COSMETICALLY IT IS VERY GOOD. THERE IS HOWEVER A 2 1/2 INCH HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE TOP NEAR THE STRAP HOLDER(SEE PIC, THE BLUE LINE IS SUNLIGHT). I HAD IT  REPAIRED AT THE "12TH FRET" GUITAR SHOP IN TORONTO. IT WAS GLUED WITH "CYNO" AND CLAMPED. I WAS TOLD THE ACCORDION WAS NEVER DROPPED, BUT THE SEAM WHERE THE 2 PIECES OF WOOD JOINED WAS NOT PERFECT,  SEPARATED SLIGHTLY, AND CRACKED THE OUTER SHELL.  I TOOK IT TO A SECOND SHOP, "FULL SCALE GUITARS," WHERE THEY CONFIRMED IT IS STRONG AND STABLE. THE BELLOWS ARE TIGHT AND SHOW LITTLE WEAR. THERE IS A 1 INCH SCUFF UNDER THE TOP STRAP, AND A VERY LIGHT SCUFF AT THE BACK. ONE OF THE BELLOWS CORNERS IS MISSING. THE GRILL CLOTH SHOULD BE CHANGED. THERE IS SOME WEAR ON THE MASTER BASS REGISTER. THE TREBLE MASTER SWITCH WORKS BUT ISN'T SITTING PROPERLY.  I HAVE SHIPPED ACCORDIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. I USE LOTS OF BUBBLE WRAP, LAY THE CASE HORIZONTAL TO DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT MORE EVENLY, IN A DOUBLE WALLED CARDBOARD BOX. THERE ARE NO BORDER CHARGES OR DUTIES ON USED PIANO ACCORDIONS TO THE U.S. WITH CANADA POST, AND RATES ARE REASONABLE.  I CHARGE ONLY THE EXACT SHIPPING COST. YOU CAN HEAR IT AT 416 4446572.
