COMPACT PA accordion

[Chickers]

HI FOLKS:
Have any of you had experience with, or own a SIWA & FIGLI accordion ?
I was looking at a pre-owned Siwa & Figli, Schumann model, PA accordion which I am not familiar with. Actually never heard of the brand.
It's made in Italy, and appears to be in very nice condition.
It's a 4/4 reed, 37 / 96 configuration. picture attached.
Any thoughts and / or comments on quality, reliability, etc. ?
Thanks,
CHICKERS

Guenadiy Lazarov works closely with them and has a lot at his place. (Accordion Gallery, NJ.) They're excellent.

Do you own any of them, how do you like them? Guenadiy is a great source of information and knowledge on accordions and repairs.

I don't own one, but I sent a friend his way and they returned with a very nice S&F instrument, and have no plans to upgrade (perhaps ever).

Karen Tweed also plays one on occasion if that helps you at all
