Scandalli are one of the very best makers and this accordion is in good condition for its age. The bellows are in fine condition as is the rest of the body showing very little signs of heavy use.As usual with accordions of this age the leather valves tend to dry out and become less effective, and normally I would replace them all which is a lot of work with around 400 valves in the instrument. In this case however the valves are usable and I replaced the few that weren't and did a quick tune up, as I have a backlog of around a year's restoration work and I think it would be better for this working accordion to go to someone who can use it as it is rather than having it hanging around for over a year. For information on accordion restoration in general please see my website It's a three voice instrument with two 8' reed sets and one 16' set. the two 8' sets are permanently in and the switch brings in the 16' in addition. You can check the sound and tuning on youtube /watch?v=BdeWvl0h3jg Although a very good size for all types of music this is a fairly lightweight instrument at a shade under 7kg, an indicator of the build quality. So if you want an instrument for amateur use with the potential for professional quality you could do a lot worse than this Scandalli. Item Photos - free eBay image hosting
