Professional
SANO Stereo Thirty Accordion
SANO
accordions are very similar to Sonola and offer an excellent
quality/price ratio in each class. Since
there are relatively small number of Sano accordions around many people
haven't had a chance to play one and fully appreciate the quality. The
SANO Stereo Thirty model is a full size instrument that features 4/5
sets of hand-finished reeds, tone modulator, and factory amplification.
It compares to Sonola AA10.
The
accordion has been well maintained over the years and was serviced at
the Accordoin Gallery in October 2020. It is clean, has a
beautiful rich tone, excellent compression, and will provide decades of
trouble
free performance.

The photographs below
will show the interior of the accordion.
The tone modulator is
built into the grill
The keyboard was
serviced and would reward the performer with excellent action. Notice
the American walnut key bed, comb, and keys.
The walnut keys have a
special design for true weighted action. The key rods go through Teflon
inserts like
in the Hohner Gola
models. This type of keyboard would add more than $1000 to the price of
a new accordion
today ... if you can
convince a manufacturer to make it for you.
I optimized the
alignment and pressure on each valve, leveled the keys, and calibrated
the action for uniform feel across the entire range.
The bass machine was
cleaned and lubricated. You can see the 2 bass microphones mounted in
the two opposite corners.
The body is made of
aged mahogany.
Voiced and tuned for
many years of enjoyable performance.
The case has some
exterior wear but is still structurally solid and clean. Has wheel and
internal cover for keyboard protection.
