Wow! how does anyone find any accordion for $20. I have never been so lucky, but I think with some work this will be a nice accordion. I have a question about the model nomenclature- is M stand for medium? and would that be like a 17.5 inch keyboard? I have a 2 reed giulietti that is a MF and I think its a 18 inch keyboard. Medium Full? Sometimes its hard for me when seeing pictures to figure if an accordion is full size or not- Especially when people refer to full size just meaning there are 120 bass and 41 keys. I always thought full size meant like 19 or 19.5 inch keyboard.
 
I don't know what the M stands for but it is there. The keyboard is 17½" and it does have 41 total keys.

The "M" stand for the word model. The M52"s were made in 3 sizes Student (small) -Ladies (med.) -and Man's (full). The accordion here has a slightly larger than a 17 1/2" keyboard and is classified as 18" keyboard or Ladies size. For the last 70+ years now in the US the standard nomenclature for 120 bass accordion sizes has been 16" to 17" Student or small -- 18" Ladies or Med. -- 19" to 19 1/2" Man's or full.
