Description: Vintage 1950s Scandalli Accordion 41 Keys 120 Bass with Original Case, stamped: Made In Italy 421/75 tested and plays well, sounds very good and loud, good to very good condition for its age, has three register buttons to change pitch to low/mid/high, the only playing issue found was that the low D piano key does not play on the draw stroke but does play on the compression stroke of the bellows, all the rest of the piano keys are working properly, one of the higher white keys stuck at first but then it would not stick again after testing and playing the keys for about 15 minutes, all 120 Bass keys are working, there is a large flat bar the width of the bass keys that when pressed it eliminates some of the bass from the chord, and press it again to bring back the richer, deeper bass chord sound A small amount of verdigris corrosion is found around the hardware loop where the chest straps connect and needs to be cleaned, see pictures, the instrument shell and its finish shows some light marks and light discoloration, the leather straps are all flexible and in good condition The Off-White Pearloid looking instrument color is kind of light yellow with a hint of green, with the original case lined in red fuzzy fabric, the case shows wear marks but is still usable and latches function –handle and sides are sturdy, a ribbon from Jacksonville, Oregon 1951 Centennial Jubilee is attached inside and a 1953 button from Dunsmuir California Railroad Days that I'm assuming helps to date this instrument I was told an accordion player was playing this instrument very well the day before I bought it and even though I don't play accordion I can verify that it is nearly 100% functional from my testing by moving the instrument bellows and pressing all of the treble keys to create basic cords and individual notes, as well as the 120 bass keys, and it sounds good
