It
is a pleasure to present this beautiful Beltuna accordion. This is the special Gold
Edition "Walnut Root" model with 41 keys and 120 bass buttons, all
in ivory finish. The accordion body is carved from a
combination of maple and mahogany with walnut root exterior finish.
All hardware and bellows corners are gold plated. There is a tone
chamber for the bassoon and clarinet reeds and a bass chamber
for the lowest octave reeds (low G bass configuration). The
mechanics is flawless. The tone is rich, warm, and powerful - the
classic Beltuna sound.

This is a beautiful accordion. It
looks new. The only sign of use is a small nick at the edge of the
keyboard close to the palm master switch. It was most likely caused
by a wrist watch buckle. Purely cosmetic and doesn't affect
performance. I have shown a close up picture of this area. You will
be instantly addicted to its visual appeal, smooth mechanics, and
live and rich tone. Offered with two years warranty
serviced at the Accordion Gallery in Landing, NJ. Local
US support is extremely important. Overseas shipping is expensive
and risky and turn around times are long.
