MELODEONS FOR SALE

FOR SALE:
HOHNER ECHO,  £700.
Hohner Echo three row BCC# button accordion with 80 bass,five sets of reeds and couplers at back of keyboard which give various combinations of reed sets. Musette tuning makes it particularly suitable for Scottish & Irish music. This is one of Hohner's older type boxes and I've been told it sounds and plays very much like the Morino. A case and new set of straps are included. Although very reluctant to part with this box I've got to pay heed to an old back injury and return to the two row.!
I'm in the Scottish Highlands and can be contacted on 01855 811558 or kenmichie1@btinternet.com

BORSINI THREE ROW, £500
Again a three row BCC# 80 bass but this time four sets reeds with five treble and two bass couplers. Another good box for Scottish and Irish playing but ,although lighter in weight than the Echo, still too heavy for my old back!!
                                                - - * - -
As I now fully intend moving back to the two row I'd be quite happy to consider exchanging one or both the above for a quality BC box, preferably Fantini or Dino Baffetti with  cash adjustment either way.

FOR SALE: Fantini Jig B/C Two-Row Melodeon (Button Accordion)
 
High quality Italian made instrument.
Musette tuned with lovely range of sounds.
Treble (RH) – 23 buttons, 4 sets of reeds, 7 couplers.
Bass (LH) – 8 buttons, 4 sets of reeds, 2 couplers.
Gloss black finish, with black bellows and chromed “Fantini” lettering.
Professionally fitted internal microphones for RH & LH (with individual volume controls) and jack output socket.
In excellent “as new” condition with original hard case and strap.
 
This instrument was specially made for me about 10 years ago, but has had very little use during this time as I usually play one-row Cajun accordions.  I’d therefore like to see it go to a good home where it will be played as it should be.  These instruments cost around £2400 new plus about £270 for the fitted microphones.

Hohner Corona lll G/C/F - £595  German made circa 1960's in pristine condition.  Covers all the continental keys, French G/C, German and Norway C/F, plus playing across three rows.  Speaks beautifully. I've had this box for years.  It is wonderfully in tune and plays like a dream.   Every time I go to sell it I stop because it is so nice.  A warm, rich tone, evenly balanced across both sides.  But  it's only when I go to sell it that I play it for a week or two then I go back to my Castagnari so this time it must go.  The case is really tatty.

Hohnor Erica C/F - £295  Made in Germany.  I took this box as part payment some years ago when I sold a bigger box.  It is in fine fettle with just a few wear marks, a bit on the bottom bellow folds and on the back, very minor.  I do have another C/F box so this one also has to go.

Giustozzi Organetto G - £395   I had a bad year for indulgences and this box is no exception.  I do love it but I'm not good at just two bases and I struggle with air control although it is ten times easier than the Hohner 4 stop.  The sound just has to be heard to be believed.  Complete with case.  Here's a guy playing the instrument I am selling. He certainly motivated me to practice harder.

Hohner Lilliput Bb/Eb - £550  Fairly new acquisition for me.  Delightful box in the sweetest of all keys but my fingers are just too big.  This box will be an absolute joy to whoever buys it.
