Dear
Accordion Friends,
There
are
many nice instruments that can keep us satisfied and inspired. However,
once you come across an exceptional quality accordion you know it from
the first chord you play! We all deserve to find our ultimate accordion,
the accordion we will never part with. Fortunately, we have different
preferences and this makes the accordion world as exciting and colorful
it is. I am sure someone will soon feel very happy with the accordion I
am presenting to you now.
This full size professional accordion is a
very special instrument of exceptional quality! The resonant accordion
body, in combination with the best reeds and reed blocks results in a
powerful rich sound. The reed configuration is LMMH with concert (very
mild swing) tuning. The accordion has been loved and maintained in great
condition over the years. It looks fabulous and comes to you serviced at
the Accordion gallery with our comprehensive full year warranty.
This is one of the best accordions you can own. It is of the same quality as the Guerrini President, Sonola SS20, Bell Symphony, Petosa AM-1100 etc. You will appreciate its tremendous power and impressive dynamic range. This accordion will be a family treasure for the true accordion lover.
The top side plastic corner ornament (used in many of the Crucianelli, Pancordion, and Tinano accordions) has been lost over the years - see the above picture.I don't miss it at all as I play the accordion and you might not even realize its is not there unless I tell you. Will try to order a replacement if still available.
I will mount a new Italian bellows protector before I pass this accordion to its new owner.
I cleaned the grill and replaced the grill cloth.
Below pictured with the new grill cloth and amplification components mounted.
Solid American walnut keyboard, serviced in August 2025, excellent valves.
Anodized metal components in the bass machine - corrosion resistant.
The accordion body and the tone chamber are made of aged solid mahogany. This accordion was probably made in the early 1960's giving the wood another 60+ years to mature. The sound is very resonant and rich. All reed blocks have been re-waxed. Fantastic double-riveted hand-made reeds!
Basic
amplification with two crystal microphones mounted on the reed blocks
and a Volume and Tone potentiometers on he grill. The microphones work
fine.
The double-riveted hand-made reeds were made by Binci. All reed plates are stamped "PANCORDION".
Let's look at the bass side...
