Greetings all,
I purchased this Paolo Soprani accordion (used) about 15 years ago. It is a very nice (for me!) instrument. I have no plans to part with it anytime soon, but I have long wondered about its vintage. I expect that it was produced right around the time when Paolo Soprani was transitioning from being a highly reputable and successful manufacturer to one that produced less-than-mediocre instruments for a while before going out of business and then repeatedly re-emerging in various forms ever since. I am curious to know whether this particular beastie was one produced nearer the peak years or in the valley. Does anyone know?
