Pigini 80 bass accordion

[JacobA]

Hi Everyone.
Is anyone familiar with the accordion in the pictures? Is it a good accordion? It is for sale, and I dont know about accordions. I hear Pigini is a pretty good brand. I am a new player. This is a video of it. This is how it sounds. One more thing I would like to ask is are the keys full size or smaller than usual?

It’s a very nice size for learning on. But it’s impossible to know the condition from these photos. The condition of the reeds can be judged better with closeups of the interior. But if it’s in good shape, that would be a sweet instrument.

It looks nice - you mentioned a video - I don't see one - maybe it failed to upload. A video would give a better idea of the sound, if we hear it being played in a video.

this is a very, very old Pigini.. a smaller model with
a few less keys on each end and no diminished bass row

the shifts indicate it has (or had) a Sordino when built,
which suggests a better quality model

more compact, lighter LMM accordions are desirable in
todays market, and if this one is in nice shape and
playable you should buy it quickly
