Hi there - picked up this 41/120 as a second box. Seems in good nick - bellows leak a little bit of air, one bass key (that I've found) is a little sticky and it needs new straps, but otherwise all couplers seem okay and nothing rattles!

I'm guessing needs a bit of a tune, but general tone is good and I'm very pleased with it. I'm very new to playing, so no experience other than my main Galotta, so who knows, I may be missing something major!

Just wondered if anyone knows much about the make and model?

I might be wrong but I believe it's made by Virgilio Soprani in Recanti and I'm guessing late 50s / 60s, but that's all guess work as I haven't found much info on them.

Any info on make / model history, quality etc would be of interest. I'll spend the money to get it in tip top shape eventually as I love it, but I'm happy as it is for now and would just like to learn more.20220504_192746.jpg20220504_192750.jpg20220504_192824.jpg
