Francini compact 96 bass

[Jacoventer]

Good day. Does anybody have any information on a francini Lacio 96 Bass?
Why is it called compact?
What is the quality, and what is the sound like, and what do I need to look out for?

Hi Jac, and welcome!
I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm sure someone will chime in who can answer it.
We'll just have to be a little bit patient.

It would help to have a better picture of the register switches to see what reeds it has. Sometimes “compact” means narrrower keys. In this case it may just mean a shorter (34 key) keyboard. 96 bass should be adequate for most music. The biggest question would be “what condition is it in”? And that can only be answered by playing it and inspecting the insides. I once bought an accordion only to find that the wax had dried out and reed plates started falling out at random. You don’t want that. Had I looked at the reed wax, I wouldn’t have bought it.
