Guerrini
Superior 2 Model
One of the BEST Acoustic Accordions
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 know how great it feels to be able to hear that dream
sound each time you play. I am sure someone will soon feel the same way
about the accordion I am presenting to you now.
This Guerrini Superior 2 accordion was built
in Italy in the early 1980's. The instrument was serviced at the Accordion
Gallery. It is clean, well voiced and tuned and has excellent compression
and efficiency. The rich and robust Guerrini tone is truly memorable and
once you've experienced it you remain attracted to it.

Cleaned all valves and the sound boards. Optimized alignment and

Stabilized the keys to
eliminate even the slightest side ply. The keyboard is a delight to
