1980s rare Timbre accordions for sale

[Deleted member 48]

A few quite rare Russian 1980s made Timbre accordions are for sale.
In Russia quartets and quintets were formed with this type of B-system CBAs without basses.

No idea what quality these are, but they are rare, and production is low for this type of instruments.

An example of such an ensemble:

The Русский тембр (Russian timbre) group uses good quality instruments.

These are solo instruments, they produce harmonica or clarinet like sound. German eBay has some similar things http://www.ebay.de/itm/Bassakkordeo...01?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item1c4d49dc85

The Kreminne brand in the ebay add were mass produced in the Ukraine, quality is mediocre.
The Russian ones are better in sound quality.

The ones shown here in the photos, were made in different versions, trying to imitate clarinet, fagotto, waldhorn, ...:

I see Moscow and Tula. Could be made in the Tula region, or for sale in those areas. These would be more like the Russian ones.

Sadly, there arent many videos of these instruments, so they are still a bit misterious to us in the West.


But I think the best ones are those used by the Russian quintet Timbre in the video above.
