BELL SYMPHONE vs BELL 4516 vs BELL 4518

[efibau]

I am going to see and play within few hours a BELL SYMPHONY.(and maybe buy it). I knew about BELL 4516 and 4518 models , that they are the best of BELL brand.
Can you indicate here a comparison between those 3 models?
Need fast answers.

The Bell Symphony is a top of the line Bell Model.
In fine shape they very possibly will command a high price. Good Luck !!

So how did the viewing go? Looks like a nice accordion.

Just today I saw that this accordion is still on the second hand site. The asking price is over $4,000.

How did she sound? And feel?

I good shape it should sound like this one --


In good shape there are models out there going for $3500.00 to $4000.00 USD
Refurbished properly these Bells will rival new Italian makes that are selling for 3 times that price.
You don't see many if them for sale as owners will keep them for a lifetime and and when the time comes to sell
it - there is always a line of accordionist's waiting to obtain it.

Perfect sounding accordion! “Wrong” notes would sound beautiful on this.
