Re: Bb flat for sale

Yeah Bryan, it's de Bb which is an island tuning.

Re: Bb flat for sale

Comes with extra set of reeds in key of D.

Re: Bb flat for sale

Ah.. like a bonus.

Re: Bb flat for sale

This accordion was made for me by Larry Miller in 2002 in the key of D, Larry converted it for me to Bb in 2011. Binci reeds of course, willing to sell D reeds seperatly, any offers. Accordion is a nine button, curly maple with internal Shure 65 mic installed. Any offers?

Re: Bb flat for sale

why don't it have 10 buttons like the standard box. the internal mic is a bonus

Re: Bb flat for sale

I prefered a smaller box because I'm a small guy.

Re: Bb flat for sale

Way to much for a Larry Miller box that old

Re: Bb flat for sale

What do you think it is worth?

Re: Bb flat for sale

i'd put it on ebay & make sure all international ebayers can view it also. People would kill for one of those boxes, & with a built in pickup it will really stand out from all the other button accordions. Set the price high so you don't lose money on it. it's about a grand for a chinese built hohner so what you have is very valuable regardless of what people tell you. Just be firm & stand your ground on the price you want. I would have bought it for sure but I don't know jack about 9 button setups

Re: Bb flat for sale

Thank you for your input, Doug. A nine button is just missing the lowest two notes so your start position is two buttons down from the top of the box instead of three buttons down. Was never a problem learning and I can pick up a ten button and go right at it. Also have a C box same configuration same maker, considering letting that one go as well. Will hit the Euro market soon.

Re: Bb flat for sale

The 9 buttons have a few attractions. Most are made on smaller boxes, so more compact and lighter. The other benefit (to some) is they are usually louder than full size boxes. They have a perception of using more air, because of the smaller bellows, but it's not a problem and easy to get used to.
