Frontalini.
This Frontalini accordion is marked Model 252 No.806
It is 4 voice treble and 5 bass, LMMM with a single keyboard edge coupler controlling the bassoon reeds.
I’m not able to date it from information I’ve seen on line so far.
The value is unimportant. It is in good condition whatever age it is though the reeds
are as expected, with dried out, curled valves. For a possibly pre-war accordion the keyboard feels more modern ie. the treble keys are only 12mm/1/2” longer than my Morino and are very ’shallow’ at about 4.5mm travel.
If anybody has knowledge of its age I would be interested and grateful.
