Tiger Ahoy

[Glug]

I know some people on here are fans of Titano Tigers, and one just listed on ebay:

6 days to go, no case.

(no connection with seller, usual Ebay warnings apply)

listed with 96 basses but it shows 120?

I wonder how high this goes. 10 euros current bid for a MIDI accordion to play around with is nice.

Yep, saw the basses mistake.  They cant count the number of treble keys sometimes too.
And I dont think the videos are very good either.

Its a Dutch/German dealer I keep a watch on, and unfortunately the prices usually end up being realistic.
But a Tiger is a bit niche so who knows

They list items every Sunday, usually quite interestring too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/*muziek*...~McAAOSwFC1dYOcL&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562.

Thanks, Glug. Very cool looking beast of an accordion!
I’ve realized that keeping my 3 accordions happy by playing them every day takes a lot of time,
So I’m happy to enjoy looking at that one from a distance where it can’t seduce me.
Although....

Seems to me that some shops/repairers watch that dealer - there tends to be a more 'realistic' bid in the last 15 mins by somebody who bids a lot.

Then again unless there's a complete bargain I would do better spending money on some lessons
Still nice to window shop though.

OK, I got bored (and its valid research).
Heres the bidding for a nice looking Marinucci 4 reed musette (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marinucci-120b-4-chorig-PRENIUM-Musette-TYPO-A-Mano-821-/273962352350?hash=item3fc96dbede:g:kMEAAOSwigxdTrj~&nma=true&si=g5tNYCUy%2BLI31e0mB1osUikejiY%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) from that seller that went for 706 euros:



However I did see a rumour that newer Marinuccis are made in the east somewhere.
