Box on Ebay

Need some help Braves. Can ya'll take a look at this box and tell what kind it is? Possibly good for a beginner box?

Re: Box on Ebay

It is one of those el-cheapo chinese accordions. Some people think they are OK for beginners, but I am not one of them. But hey, that's just me.

Re: Re: Box on Ebay

I have had a couple of these and I would consider them ok to start on. This one has a much better type of bellows tape on it than the Ariette . The 114 is a much better choice, but also alot more cabbage. If you have not tried and compared these to a handmade you may want to put it off 'cause once you try the real deal there's no turning back!

Re: Re: Re: Box on Ebay

Oh, forgot to mention it is a "Milan" brand, but beware that all of these types are the same just different logos.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Box on Ebay

Thanks guys, I figured it was one of the chinese ones and I am definitely not going that route.

Still looking if anybody has anything they want to sell
