    Description

    Vintage Moreschi Piano Accordion 41/120 two register, pearl, with case. I bought it at a flea market about 10 years ago, and have gotten a lot of use out of it.  I am not playing as much as I used to and am finally ready to sell it.  See a video here: https://youtu.be/hAGin80wk_8 .You'd  think I'd be better after owning this for a decade :(
    This is an OLD accordion.  I emailed the Moreschi company and reply I got back from stated that it is very old, before they have records.
    Here is the good news:
    - all the notes play
    - it sounds and looks beautiful
    - it has the original case is included.
    - vintage vibes:  it gets extra vintage cred being build before the manufacturer's kept record.
    - the bellows are in good shape, especially for the age of the accordion.
    The bad news:
    - not all of the double notes play readily (they require more volume).  This is a simple fix and could be a matter of cleaning the reeds, but I don't have the time now.
    - The straps are work and both have broken at the top.  One I had replaced a few years ago, the other broke recently and is attached with a bit of paracord.
    - The mesh over the treble reeds is damaged in three places.
    - the celluoid is mildly warped in a few places. Par for the course with an instrument of its age, but worth noting nonetheless.  Doesn't effect functionality.
    Let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them!
