This instrument is called by various names depending on location. See the wikipedia listing for discussion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_button_accordion
It is called a Melodeon, or Diatonic Button Accordion, or Diatonic Harmonica. I bought it new in the Netherlands around 1983 when I thought I wanted to learn to play it. Well, first one thing, then another happened and it set in the closet for all these years. It is in very good condition. Some of the plastic buttons show a little discoloration if you look close. The bellows is in very good shape as far as I can tell and all the notes play. The chord richness has to be heard to be believed. The book that I bought when I bought the instrument is included.
I'm asking $600. for it including shipping to the lower 48 states, but I really would like to see it find a home where somebody would play it, so make me an offer. I can be reached at (jsbabb01 at gmail dot com) or 865 851 1216. |
