Estrella (Castelfidardo Italia) 36 bass accordion help needed!

[a***@gmail.com]

Hi

I have an Estrella 36 bass accordion and I am looking to get it valued. It is not in a fully working condition and I am unsure of the date of production. It has a pale blue /turquoise finish and as far as I can tell has the original straps and case and comes with a music book by Rose, Morris & Co that cost just 2 shillings and 6 pence! If anyone on here can help me I can email photos.

Thanks

Adam

idk what shape yours is in. The one I rebuilt shown in the video had
among other things warped keys which I took out removed the keytops,
candled with an alcohol lamp to straighten them and re-glued the keytops
to keep them from clacking together and because they were twisted a bit.
By the time all was said and done, the keyboard was whisper quiet.
Of course all the reeds were re-done and new key valves, etc.

This 36 bass was like a 12 X 4 48 bass, but with not the row of 12
counter basses.
