(THE SHIPPING COSTS ARE ACCURATE ONLY TO BRAZIL; PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR EXACT SHIPPING PRICES TO ANY OTHER DESTINATION. I AM ALSO "PROPCITY". I OPENED THIS SECOND EBAY ACCOUNT, "PROPCITY1", TO SELL IN U.S FUNDS. BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING PIGINI 'FRENCH MUSSETTE" ACCORDION. LMMM. 7 TREBLE, 3 BASS REGISTERS. 120 BASS. MADE IN ITALY. 37 KEYS. 16 3/4 INCH KEYBOARD. THE KEYS ARE FULL SIZE ABOUT 3/4 OF AN INCH. IT WEIGHS 21.5 LBS. THE TUNING IS EXCELLENT. I STUDY VOICE AND LISTEN CAREFULLY; I DON'T HEAR A NOTE OUT OF TUNE ON EITHER SIDE. THE MUSSETTE IS QUITE EVEN. THE BELLOWS ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE, BUT COSMETICALLY IT IS EXCELLENT. THE STRAPS SHOW A BIT OF WEAR BUT ARE SOLID. THE CASE IS VERY GOOD. I SELL ACCORDIONS FOR LOCAL PLAYERS. I AM NOT A REPAIRMAN, BUT AFTER SELLING OVER 135 ACCORDIONS ON EBAY, I HAVE BECOME PRETTY GOOD AT IDENTIFYING ISSUES, PROSPECTIVE BUYERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF, SO THERE ARE NO SURPRISES. "IS THERE RUST ON ANY OF THE REED TONGUES"? "ARE SOME NOTES OUT OF TUNE"? "DO SOME NOTES NOT PLAY"? SOME ISSUES LIKE STICKY KEYS OR BUTTONS, NOTES NOT PLAYING, AND MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT, CAN BE AN EASY FIX; OTHERS CAN TAKE CONSIDERABLE TIME. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T PLAY VERY WELL, I LIKE TO PLAY, AND I USUALLY INCLUDE A VIDEO. I SPEND A LOT OF TIME; HOURS, PACKING ACCORDIONS, TO MAKE SURE THEY ARRIVE WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. 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 CUSHIONING THE ACCORDION IN THE CASE, AND THE CASE INSIDE THE CARDBOARD BOX. CANADA POST IS REASONABLE AND I CHARGE ONLY THE EXACT COST. I HAVE A 100% EBAY RATING AND HAVE SOLD AND SHIPPED OVER 135 ACCORDIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD; 65 WITHOUT THE CASE TO BRAZIL IN 2 BOXES; IT COSTS $180. 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 WITHOUT THE CASE, BY SURFACE. I REMOVE THE PIANO SIDE PINS, AND SHIP IT IN 2 BOXES; IT COSTS $180. FOR THE 2 BOXES. I HAVE SHIPPED 65 ACCORDIONS THIS WAY; ALL HAVE ARRIVED SAFELY; THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS. USUALLY IT TAKES 2 TO 4 WEEKS TO ARRIVE AND CUSTOMS CAN TAKE ANOTHER WEEK. 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. |
