Soprani accordion ?

[Tunlrat]

I came to this site to find I formation about an accordion I received from mother in laws estate
I can not find an exact match on google search a there was no paperwork with it .
It appears to be in good shape with no major signs of use other than “normal” wear
The bellows are flexible and not cracked and it plays .
Thank you
Dan

Hi Dan and welcome!
It appears to be an attractive, Italian made, 41 treble/120 bass, 3 voiced, mid-range piano accordion built by one of the extensive Sopranni family in good cosmetic condition and a popular colour from the late 1940s/ early 1950s.
Unfortunately, it's something of a buyer's market these days but, in playable condition, could fetch as much as several hundred dollars from the right buyer.
It's quite well made and could suit a beginner, busker, amateur enthusiast or folk musician.
(Are there any Chinese made mid-range instruments "Guaranteed for life "?)
Unfortunately, accordions, even if not played, tend to deteriorate with age and things can go wrong inside (out of sight eg, wax, reeds, valves, mould etc) that can be costly to repair.
Good luck with it!
