The condition on this instrument is stunning. I'm guessing it was made shortly after 1926 since it has a seal touting Grand Prix status at an exposition in Philidelphia with that date. It has steel reeds on zinc reedplates. It features mostly rectangular (parallel) reeds versus the standard parallelogram shaped reeds. They have a triangle stamp.

The original leather valves have all been replaced with modern plastic or composite valves for long life. All reedplates were removed, cleaned, revalved then rewaxed onto the instrument. The keyboard has a removeable back so it has button travel limiting. It has new bellows gaskets, and a working thumb loop. I can tune this specifically as the buyer desires.

Final price will be established after discussing specific restoration and tuning specifications. Please use the contact page to let me know if this (#253) is an accordion you are interested in purchasing.
