VERY NICE TITANO "VIRTUOSO" "HI TONE PROJECTOR" ACCORDION. LMMH. 4/5 SETS OF EXCELLENT HANDMADE "CATRARO" REEDS. IT IS A SENSITIVE ACCORDION. IT CAN BE PLAYED VERY SOFT, OR VERY LOUD. 11 TREBLE, 5 BASS REGISTERS, PLUS PALM MASTER SWITCH. 120 BASS. MADE IN ITALY. THE MM HAS A MILD AND EVEN MUSSETTE. THE KEYBOARD IS 19 1/4 INCHES, AND HAS NO STRATCHES; IT HAS YELLOWED A BIT. I WILL INCLUDE A TUBE OF TAMIYA POLISHING COMPOUND; IT IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT, THAT CAN REMOVE SOME OF THE YELLOW. THE ACCORDION WEIGHS 25.8 LBS. THE CASE IS GOOD. I WILL INCLUDE BRAND NEW FRM ENTERPRISES BLACK VELVET LINED BASS(INSTALLED) AND "PRO" SHOULDER STRAPS. THE GOOD: THE TUNING IS EXCELLENT; I STUDY VOICE AND I DON'T HEAR A NOTE OUT OF TUNE ON EITHER SIDE. EVERY KEY AND BUTTON PLAYS PROPERLY; IN AND OUT, UP AND DOWN, ON THE L, M, AND H REGISTERS I CHECK. THERE IS NO RUST, NOT A SPECK ON ANY OF THE OUTER REED TONGUES; I GENTLY LIFTED THE LEATHERS AND SAW NONE UNDERNEATH ON THE INNER REED TONGUES. THE WAX IS EXCELLENT; IT IS VERY SMOOTH. THE LEATHERS ARE MOSTLY FLAT. THE BELLOWS TAPE SHOWS NO WEAR. THE BAD: THE KEYBOARD IS KIND OF NOISY. THE TOP BELLOWS SNAP HAS BROKEN OFF(SEE PICTURE). ON EBAY, "LIBERTY BELLOWS" SELLS OLDER SNAPS; CURRENTLY THEY HAVE THE IDENTICAL ONE, BUT IT IS A BIT SHORTER. IT IS A MATTER OF WATCHING EBAY UNTIL THE RIGHT SIZE COMES UP. 4 PIANO KEYS ARE A BIT HIGHER, HOWEVER TO ADJUST THEM YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE MUTE SHELL. THE BELLOWS ARE FAIRLY TIGHT, BUT THERE IS AN AIR LEAK BY THE TOP OF THE BELLOWS; I CAN FEEL A WHISPER OF AIR FROM INSIDE ONE OF THE BELLOWS FOLDS; THERE IS PROBABLY A VERY SMALL HOLE. ONE SET OF THE FOOT POSTS IS MISSING(SEE PIC). I DON'T HAVE AN IDENTICAL SET, BUT CAN INCLUDE 2 FULL SETS OF SIMILAR INCLUDING SCREWS, AND YOU CAN INSTALL WHICHEVER YOU PREFER; YOU JUST HAVE TO DRILL A SMALL HOLE. THE UGLY: THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE BOTTOM; BY THE FRONT PINS, AND A FEW HERE AND THERE. COSMETICALLY IT IS GOOD. THERE IS NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM ITS' OVERALL APPEARANCE. I SELL ACCORDIONS FOR LOCAL PLAYERS. I AM NOT A REPAIRMAN, BUT I DO MY BEST, TO SEE AND HEAR MOST EVERYTHING, AND GIVE AN EXTENSIVE LISTING DESCRIPTION. I USUALLY INCLUDE A VIDEO, AND MENTION FLAWS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE; ESPECIALLY TUNING, RUST, AND BROKEN REED TIPS. I SPEND A LOT OF TIME PACKING ACCORDIONS, TO MAKE SURE THEY ARRIVE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I USE A DOUBLE WALLED CARDBOARD BOX; LAY THE ACCORDION FLAT TO BETTER DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT, ISOLATE THE BASS BUTTONS WITH CARDBOARD STRIPS AND PAINTERS' TAPE, AND USE PLENTY OF BUBBLE WRAP. CANADA POST IS REASONABLE AND I CHARGE ONLY THE EXACT COST. I HAVE A 100% EBAY RATING AND HAVE SOLD AND SHIPPED OVER 100 ACCORDIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD; 60 WITHOUT THE CASE TO BRAZIL IN 2 BOXES; IT COSTS $230. IN CDN FUNDS FOR BOTH. I HAVE SHIPPED MORE THAN 55 ACCORDIONS WORLDWIDE, WITH THE CASE, IN 1 BOX, TO: SOUTH KOREA, MEXICO, IRELAND, ISRAEL, CHINA, HONG KONG, GREECE, TAIWAN, SWEDEN, SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, PORTUGAL, GERMANY, JAPAN, CHILE, ITALY, POLAND, AUSTRALIA, AND OVER 45 TO THE U.S.A., TO WHICH IT ARRIVES WITH NO BORDER CHARGES, OR DUTIES. I AM HAPPY TO SHIP TO BRAZIL FROM CANADA, AND WORK WITH THE BUYER. SINCE I AM IN CANADA, I CANNOT USE U.S. POST. I SHIP BY SURFACE. I REMOVE THE PIANO SIDE PINS, AND SHIP IT IN 2 BOXES; IT COSTS $230. CDN. FOR THE 2 BOXES. I HAVE SHIPPED 60 ACCORDIONS THIS WAY; ALL HAVE ARRIVED SAFELY; THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS. IT USUALLY TAKES 2 TO 4 WEEKS TO ARRIVE. CUSTOMS CAN TAKE ANOTHER WEEK, HOWEVER, PLEASE TAKE NOTE, BECAUSE OF THE OLYMPICS, SHIPPING TO BRAZIL CAN TAKE LONGER. I HAD 1 BOX WITH THE BASS SECTION ARRIVE IN 2 WEEKS; THE OTHER WITH THE PIANO SIDE WAS IN CUSTOMS FOR 1 MONTH AND FINALLY ARRIVED TO THE BUYER IN 9 WEEKS FROM THE SHIPPING DATE. I ACCEPT PAYPAL, BUT FOR SELLER PROTECTION, PLEASE CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS; I HAVE TO SHIP IT TO THE ADDRESS ON THE EBAY ORDER DETAILS. THANKS, KIM.
