Hello, All.
I bought this virtually "new old stock" Giulietti with my ear on the bass. and actually imagined using it as a donor box for a probably-crazy project: I meant to turn the piano side into a Janko isomorphic keyboard, or even perhaps turn the two sides into two different harmonium-like squeezeboxes or table top instruments. But, other projects got in the way, and my smarter asscociates told me it would be a shame to modify such a nice instrument, particularly since the interest in free bass seems to be high lately. So, I offer it here. The nearest I have seen is much more used (this one literally was returned by the original owner who didn't "get" the free bass) and that one is listed places for $1400 USD. I ask $1000 USD, or nearest offer. Looks and feels brand new, at least to me, and the only cosmetic flaw is on one of the bellows closure straps, which has an unraveled thread. Two voices (Bassoon/Clarinet) available each or together. About 14 pounds. Original case. Picture enclosed. If you are interested, I can probably figure out a way to make a sound/video file, albeit with no skill playing it beyond the "white keys." Located in Hartford, CT, USA. Or, a Zoom or FaceTime "live" look?

Thanks!

APOLOGIES!!! I can't even count....of course, it's 34 and 44, and not the 37 and 48 I titled the post with....I don't know how to edit the original title....Thanks, Walker, for the catch, and the nice feedback.
 
That is such a beautiful little instrument for a very reasonable price. I need (want) a smaller compact accordion and the Bassoon and Clarinet registers are perfect for my playing style.

The issue is, of course, the free bass. Unfortunately that would be a major dealbreaker. I'm sure there's somebody out there that will jump on this offer. Good luck to you!

I am sorry to post here, but I may have a suggestion for you. I have a similar-sized unit that is also free bass:


The thing that may be interesting to you is that this accordion of mine was based off of an Arietta, and those are NOT Free Bass, so it may be something that you can base your search for:


Unlike my FB36 which is dry tuned, the Ariettas had a cute musette tune… just something you could start a search for if interested.
