Description
This bandoneon is an AA (not sure what year, I'll add that later) that was refinished by Damian Guttlein in BAs just a few months ago.Please note it has a new bellows and look closely at the pics to see all the work Damian did to refinish it. It has one scratch where the buckle on the left hand hit the hand plate. Common problem.Most notably, this bandoneon was tuned by Damian Guttlein. That's worth 2k-3k alone.I am helping Damian by selling this for him online in the US. However, he stands 100% behind his work and guarantees the instrument in full. If there's an issue with it, he'll be in Stowe Vermont next summer and can make any adjustments you need.The keyboard layout is the typical tango layout. The left hand is a little different though: there's about a half inch more space between the keys and the handle than usual. I've come across this on many instruments, though generally the difference is they tend to be a bit higher or lower versus further away. In some ways it's more comfortable than the standard grip, but everyone who tried playing it at Stowe this year felt it took about 5 mins to get used to it. This was probably manufactured that way to accommodate someone who wanted to make playing solos on the left hand a bit easier (that's the ultimate effect).Please email me with any questions and I'll pass them on to Damian. It's a nice instrument and I'd buy it myself if I didn't already have two.
