No rips in the accordion. It is in beautiful condition. High quality construction. I love the pattern it is covered with. Has leather straps as well as hand strap. It comes with the original case which still has tags from the original owner. Allegro is a very rare Italian brand. These are hard to find especially in this condition. Great for the collector or avid player! Please ask me any questions you may have. Free shipping. Will be packed professionaly so no damage is incurred during shipping. Thanks!
