NICE SCANDALLI LMMH ACCORDION. THE REEDS DO NOT HAVE ANY RUST. PLEASE NOTE, THE KEYBOARD IS ONLY 17 INCHES WIDE. 4/5 SETS OF REEDS. 11 TREBLE, 2 REPEATS, 4 BASS REGISTERS, PLUS PALM MASTER. THERE IS NO LMH REGISTER. THE MM HAS MEDIUM MUSSETTE. SOME MM NOTES ARE SLOWER OR FASTER. IT WEIGHS 20.6 LBS. 120 BASS. MADE IN ITALY.THE ORIGINAL BASS STRAP STITCHING HAD COME A BIT LOOSE, AND WAS GLUED. IT IS PRETTY GOOD. THE ORIGINAL SHOULDER STRAPS ARE GOOD, BUT MEDIUM SIZE. THE CASE IS SOLID, BUT SHOWS SOME WEAR.
THE GOOD:
THE TUNING IS VERY GOOD, BUT SOME MM NOTES ARE A BIT FASTER, OR SLOWER. THERE IS NO RUST ON ANY OF THE REED TONGUES. I CHECKED ON BOTH SIDE. I DID NOT SEE ANY RUST ON THE OUTER REED TONGUES. I GENTLY LIFTED THE LEATHERS, AND DID NOT SEE A SPECK OF RUST UNDERNEATH. A FEW NOTES DO NOT PLAY EITHER ON THE PUSH OR PULL, BUT THERE ARE NO BROKEN REED TIPS. THE REED TONGUES JUST HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED(TWEAKED). THE WAX IS VERY GOOD. SOME OF THE LEATHERS HAVE CURLED. THE REGISTER SLIDES WORK FINE. THE BELLOWS ARE VERY TIGHT, AND
ARE EXTREMELY CLEAN, WITH NO STAINS WHATSOEVER. THE BELLOWS TAPE SHOWS NO WEAR.
THE BAD:
ABOUT A DOZEN OF THE PIANO KEYS HAVE VERY THIN HORIZONTAL CRACKS. THE KEYS SEEM TO BE SOLID. ONE KEY TOP HAS LIFTED A BIT. THEY HAVE YELLOWED ALSO.
THE UGLY:
THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE, BUT NOT MANY. OVERALL COSMETICALLY, ASIDE FROM THE THIN HORIZONTAL CRACKS ON SOME OF THE PIANO KEYS, IT IS VERY GOOD.
I AM NOT A REPAIRMAN, BUT I HAVE SOLD OVER 185 ACCORDIONS ON EBAY. I DO MY BEST TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS, SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT NEED IN THE WAY OF REPAIRS. "IS THERE RUST ON ANY OF THE REED TONGUES", "ARE SOME NOTES OUT OF TUNE", "DO SOME NOTES NOT PLAY"? SOME REPAIRS LIKE STICKY KEYS OR REGISTERS, BUTTONS AND KEYS NOT SOUNDING ON THE PUSH OR PULL, AND MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT, CAN BE AN EASY FIX. OTHER REPAIRS CAN BE EXPENSIVE, SO IT IS GOOD TO KNOW AN HONEST REPAIRMAN. I LIKE TO PLAY ACCORDION, AND INCLUDE A VIDEO. I SPEND A LOT OF TIME PACKING ACCORDIONS, TO MAKE SURE THEY ARRIVE WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. AFTER 15 YEARS ON EBAY, SO FAR SO GOOD, "TOUCH WOOD". I HAVE CUSTOM DOUBLE WALLED CARDBOARD BOXES MADE, SO THE BOXES ARE NOT OVER SIZED, AND SHIPPING COSTS ARE KEPT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. I LAY THE ACCORDION CASE FLAT TO BETTER DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT; I ISOLATE THE BASS BUTTONS WITH CARDBOARD STRIPS AND PAINTERS' TAPE. I WRAP BUBBLE WRAP AROUND THE ACCORDION, INSIDE THE CASE, SO IT IS SNUG AND CUSHIONED, AND WRAP MORE AROUND THE CASE, INSIDE THE CARDBOARD BOX. CANADA POST IS REASONABLE AND I CHARGE ONLY THE EXACT COST.                                   I HAVE A 100% EBAY RATING ON MY 2 ACCOUNTS, "PROPCITY" AND "PROPCITY1". I HAVE SOLD 190 ACCORDIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD; 85 ACCORDIONS WORLDWIDE,
WITH THE CASE,
IN 1 BOX, TO: SOUTH KOREA, MEXICO, IRELAND, ISRAEL, CHINA, HONG KONG, GREECE, TAIWAN, SWEDEN, SLOVOKIA, SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, PORTUGAL, GERMANY, JAPAN, CHILE, ITALY, POLAND, AUSTRALIA, ARGENTINA, FRANCE, AND OVER 60 TO THE U.S.A. THERE ARE NO BORDER CHARGES TO THE U.S., BUT EBAY COLLECTS LOCAL TAX TO MANY STATES. IT COSTS . TO THE U.S. I HAVE SHIPPED 85 ACCORDIONS TO BRAZIL, IN 2 BOXES,
WITHOUT THE CASE,
BY SHIP/SURFACE. IT WILL TAKE LONGER DUE TO THE VIRUS. IT MAY TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 10 WEEKS TO ARRIVE, ACCORDING TO CANADA POST. IT COSTS 0. FOR 2 BOXES, NO CASE. I HAVE SHIPPED 15 ACCORDIONS SUCCESSFULLY TO CHINA,
WITH THE CASE
. IT COSTS 5. BY SURFACE, 0. BY AIR.                                                    I ACCEPT PAYPAL, BUT FOR SELLER PROTECTION, PLEASE CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS; I HAVE TO SHIP IT TO THE ADDRESS ON THE EBAY ORDER DETAILS.
