Below is a link to a shared folder where you can hear sound samples of this  instrument. I suggest you listen with headphones. I split the presentation in 4 parts. Part 1 is an overview of all treble and bass reeds playing slow scales in different switches. Part 2 presents combination of treble and bass switches in short sound samples. In parts 3 and 4 I enjoy playing the accordion for fun.

Dallape Supermaestro SN 110 - Sound Demo

This accordion will make you sound better!

Please, note the slight celluloid (only cosmetic) damage at the lower corner of the white bass-board (picture below), just above the plate with the serial number. A similar celluloid crack has been repaired at the upper side. These are minor issues that do not affect the performance and can only be seen from a very close distance.

Let's take a look inside the accordion ...

The accordion body and the tone chamber are made of aged mahogany.

The Bass and Tenor reeds are double-riveted.
