Help - identify Titano Grand and information about this model

[spacecadetcharlie]

Hello, I am in possession of an accordion that used to belong to my mother. Although I'm a musician, I don't play accordion, and would like to get this into the hands of someone who can make use of it! Problem is, I don't know anything about it.

The markings are Titano Grand, made in Italy. We have the case, as well. What I would like to do is put this up on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, etc., for a fair price - for someone who would enjoy it.

I play saxophone and guitar and know how much the value of an instrument can vary...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

It's a fine accordion, suitable for a professional, though the lack of a second middle reed will make it somewhat less desirable. I have found Liberty Bellows YouTube videos to be useful for pricing, though the value depends greatly on the condition and how recently it has been serviced and tuned.

Excellent help, thanks. This reminds me that I should seek out a tech for a once-over before I sell it on to the next owner.

Here's a really nice demo from Liberty Bellows (thanks Big Squeezy) in case anyone comes along later with questions. This looks to be the exact same model; they call it a "Titano Grand Organette Tube Chamber LMH 41 120".
