    Breathing New Life into My 80 Bass Scandalli (part one)

    This post is rather long so I have had to break it up into at least two parts. I suggest putting the kettle on and having a cuppa about half way through if you get that far! I thought it was about time I did a follow up to the post that I did about the damaged and unplayable 80 bass Scandalli...

    New accordion - buying advice

    Dear community, I've been considering purchasing a new 120 bass acoustic accordion, ideally made in Germany or Italy. From my research, it seems that Hohners may not be the best option as most of them are manufactured in China. Giulietties are popular in the US and Brazil, but they are quite...

    Help identifying a vintage accordion

    We found this accordion after my FIL passed away last month. My MIL played it. I know it is a Scandalli, with the number 184/37 on the back. She played it in high school which dates it to ~1948-1951. If I understand things correctly it has 120 bass keys, 41 treble, and 5 registers. Beyond that I...

    Scandalli reed valves/leathers

    Hi, I recently purchased a used Scandalli accordion. The previous owner was and older gentleman in his 70s who said he bought it new in Italy in 1994. It was in really good condition and I absolutely love the sound of it. It's tuned LMMM on the keyboard side. The only problem with it is that...
