Borsini Nostalgic

[Svanis]

Hello, I recently aquired a gently used LMMM Borsini Special Nostalgic Ultra Model PA. The information available is scarce. I believe it started out as a limited run of 100 white Lars Ek models with 1/1 registers in the early-mid 80’s. They also produced the Special model with 1/1 or 7/1 registers in white or black. It has Sabbatini Super Star A Mano reeds in the treble and bass, which I assume are the same as in the Borsini Super Star model. It’s a really nice accordion, I would love to know more about it and the reed maker.

I have one of the original models. These are the second generation models that were not authorized by Lars Ek.
I don’t have the time right now to get into the details. I can include a picture of mine.

Pretty.

It's not every accordion that can get away with the old fashioned look, the Borsini definitely did it right (Borsini has a good reputation and very good sound) and it looks gorgeous.

Have you made any videos of what yours sounds like?

@JerryPH I don’t mean to jump in in case you were referring to @Svanis , but if you’re just interested in the sound of one of these, here’s a video that I made:
