This is a showroom accordion in excellent condition. The only sign of use is a small nick at the edge of the keyboard close to the palm master switch. It was most likely caused by a wrist watch buckle. Purely cosmetic and doesn't affect performance. I have shown a close up picture of this area. You will be instantly addicted to its visual appeal, smooth mechanics, and live and rich tone. Offered with
