Dallape SUPERMAESTRO Super King Model

Dear Accordion Friends,

This is a gorgeous accordion in excellent condition. It is so difficult to find one of these classic Dallape instruments built in the 1970s (1976-1980) to commemorate Dallape's 100-th Anniversary. The tone is powerful with both intensity and overtones. The mechanics is flawless. Each part is crafted with precision and love. The accordion looks fantastic and plays without any effort. The compression is excellent. After Giovanni Gola retired from Hohner he returned to Italy and participated in the design and manufacturing of the famous Dallape Centennial Series accordions. They combine some of the best features of Hohner Gola, Guerrini Superior 2, and Dallape's own century-long expertise.
