Accordion Armando Bugari

[Miguel]

I have an Armando Bugari accordion with LMMH configuration with 1 cassotto. I would like to know the year of manufacture, type of voice and some curiosities. Thank you.

I would like to know the year of manufacture,

Possibly late 1980s?
I have an Armando Bugari PA model CHC262 with a similar grille from c.1989

Drop Bugari an email with the serial number. The grill on those changed and if the serial number doesn’t work then the date when the grill changed would give a rough idea. Good looking box.

Probably from the eighties. A 3+1 championcassotto is rather rare (most are 2+2, and that's all Bugari still lists in their catalog).
A championcassotto has tipo-a-mano reeds. Most often these are Cagnoni, but I don't know whether that's also the case for a Bugari that's roughly 40 years old.
