I have had the pleasure to service yet another spectacular accordion. The attention to detail in the woodwork is as good as I have even seen. I have worked on a few dozen Lira accordions. This particular instrument is the only one with a double tone chamber and special-design reed blocks. I believe it was custom ordered. Similar to other Lira accordions, all reed plates are stamped with the brand name. The reeds are hand-made and of very high quality.  

• Hand made "Lira" reeds with genuine leather valves
• 4 sets of treble reeds - LM1M2H
• Concert tuned
  
• DOUBLE TONE CHAMBER (CASSOTTO) - Bassoon (L) and Clarinet (M1)
  
• 5 sets of bass reeds
• 41 keys, 19.25 " keyboard - nicely round Lucite white key tops with smooth edges
  
• 12 treble switches -  Bassoon (L), Clarinet (M1), Organ (LH), Musette (M1M2H), Accordion (LM1M2), Violin (M1M2), Harmonium (LM1H), Oboe (M1H), Bandoneon (LM1), Piccolo (H), and two Master (LMMH) switches on each side.

• Palm Master switch (LMMH)
  
• 140 bass - The first row close to the bass switches corresponds to minor thirds. Then you have the classic Stradella order - major third, fundamental, major chord, minor chord, major seventh, and diminished. You can think of this setup as the classic 120-bass most of us are familiar with plus added minor third notes. It is like having 3 rows of free-bass notes. This layout has been favored by many Serbian accordionists and is standard on the 6-row chromatic accordions.
• 7 bass switches
• 18-fold large volume bellows - clean - excellent compression
  
• New Velvet bellows protector
• New shoulder straps
• 27.5 lb
  
• Very good case

Let's take a look inside this beautiful accordion. The interior is clean and nicely varnished.
The body and reed blocks are made from solid aged wood.

The craftsmen carved the interior as if it would be on display, using different woods

to create a beautiful aesthetic pattern.

All treble and bass reed plates are stamped "Lira".

The woodwork inside is impressive.
