Due to unfortunate circumstances I need to sell my instrument.
I recently (within the last two months) had this instrument appraised
by Joe Petosa of Petosa Music in Seattle. He advised asking $4,000 to
start. I paid over $4,000 for this instrument. It is a particularly
fine instrument with great sound and feel, and if I can't get that
much (or nearly) I will keep it.
============
Name on front: PANcordion
On back of keyboard says: Patent in USA #2448682 and Italy #435343
Serial #: 2682 on treble and bass, both.
Made in: Unknown. Joe Petosa (Petosa Music, Seattle) believes it was
made in New York.
Treble Switches: 10, old flipper style like Yankovic's.
Harmonium
Violin
Celeste
Bandoneon
Bassoon
Polka
Melodion
Accordion
Clarinet
Musette
Treble Reeds: 4 sets - three middle, one bottom
Treble keyboard: 19.5 inches, 24 white keys from F to A
Bass switches: 7
Bass reeds: 5 sets
Bass buttons: 120
Tuning: Moderately wet.
Condition: Excellent. No scratches, no leaking of bellows, all keys
play in all reed blocks both in and out, no "off" notes.
Wired: Stereopickups for both treble and bass with separate volume
switches.
Tone chamber: no
Additional info: Plaque on front says "Custom built for Johnny's"
Case: Original, also in excellent condition, with keys
Thank you.
Sincerely,
William R. Leaver
