PA with double keyboard

[wirralaccordion]

For a piano accordion with double keyboard I am curious to know whether the keys on the left ( the bass ) are single notes or chords, and if chords what chords? I note that there is one for sale on Ebay, a Settimo Soprani which I assume is Italian.

A Pic' will help or the ad itself.

Single notes - both keyboards. This box is for a piano player that has no conception of the stradella bass.
You hit a single note and then a traid - like playing stride piano.
A fine example of a Rube-Goldberg design.

If we each received a dime for each accordion that was pretty or interesting to look at but turned out to be impractical and/or commercial flops, wed all be rich

To answer the question of the OP, this is one of those failed experiments made by a popular or well known accordion manufacturer. The left hand notes are single notes. Honestly, even if it was in very good condition at 77 pounds it is about 75 pounds overpriced.

Sadly, this is more a novelty accordion one donates to a museum more than one would ever use to make any kind of music with.

This perhaps is what makes the Italians Italian and many love them for it.

I don't know what to think about this one. It is odd looking, that's for sure, but it also has a charm about it.

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder, so someone must have been enamoured with this unusual instrument.
