More information about Zarya 2 accordion

[wauhti]

Hello! Do somebody know more accurate informations about this Zarya 2 accordion and its history?

 

[Ventura]

i am thinking an old Eastern Block knock off/look alike of a popular Scandalli model

very common for the Chinese to copy and imitate Scandalli also. but they
more commonly reverse engineered the Silvana series in Asia back then

if it plays OK and was cheap to buy, be happy

Ventura,
I too recognised an echo of 1950s Scandalli styling ?

Right on Ventura -- A 50's Eastern Block accordion. Quality comparable to the same era Weltmeister's.
At times show up on Ebay and advertised as Russian accordions.
