N.Y. Van Damme Excelsior Symphony Accordion 1952

I saw this ad in a FB group and thought someone here might be interested. I am not adept at playing a 140 bass instrument, but thought that perhaps there might be someone who would really enjoy this beautiful instrument. Pics, history and videos available by the seller Andra Ball (in the UK.) For sale on a FB group called "Accordion For Sale."

The reason (I believe) that you can't post a link to this accordion is because the group you mention is a private group, so only members of that group can see what's posted.

As Knobby said, "Accordion For Sale" is a private group.
Regarding this accordion it is a jazz model with keyboard starting at G and going up to C (higher than most non-convertor accordions).
Looks nice. Price is 3.500 (GBP or Euro, not very clear) which may be acceptable if the accordion is in pristine condition which is impossible to say without close inspection in person.

Hi all! Yes the accordion is mine and it s still for sale,but as i said to Sally as she was very interested,im not keen to post to US or anywhere to be honest.This is a well played accordion in good condition but not pristine.it has an amazing tone and an ultra fast keyboard.it was serviced in july.It was played/ tried by jack Emblow but it belonged to one of his musician friend.
It was a special order and apparently only 3 where made in new york in this lay-out ,then soon after the factory moved to italy.
It is very compact and very comfortable to play its under 12kg.
I wonder why did Art Van Damme choose this exact model to play? Hmmm.
