I believe this is a late 1950's or early 1960's model. It is in very good condition and has that mature rich sound you would expect from one of the best made instruments from the "Golden Age". This accordion will make you happy and inspired each time you play it. It will perform trouble-free for many years.

The accordion has MIDI system installed. The connector is next to the microphones pick up (see the picture below). I will try to find a power supply that will work with the instrument since it was not available at the time I acquired the accordion. Consider this electronics a bonus where I find the power supply or not. If the new owner prefers to have the MIDI removed this could be done in a clean professional way without affecting the performance or appearance of the instrument.
