I picked this up at an antique store several years ago. I thought it was pretty cool so I thought I would share.

It’s a 4/5 LMMM. It’s due for new leathers and some reeds need attention. The palm “master” switch (just dis/enables the bassoon reeds) doesn’t really work well both directions. I hope in the next couple years to get around to do a mild refurbishment on it. Obviously I can’t really compare it to a modern instrument but the keyboard plays pretty easy and the bass mechanism works really nicely.

Nice vintage accordion. Good luck!
 
Looking good! Looks like the same vintage as that La Tosca I worked on.
 
I love the bling on these old boxes. I have several I'll be posting soon. Yours sounds lovely, to my ear.

Press on....
Waldo
