oh well
i guess it;s no big news
shouldn;t make a big deal out of it
ebay is full of worthless accordions whose sellers
know nothing or even less
this was just an outrageous example
SO many things wrong with what the seller claimed
yet another example:
those accordions, even though a decal may
brag about some prize the manufacturer may have won,
usually in australia or new zealand,
and it may state a year the prize was won,
are of course not necessarily made in that year
the other irony is that the sellers bend over
backwards to state how old it is,
not even realizing that
age does nothing to improve an accordion.
they never know what key it;s in
florid descriptions of paint, varnish,
etc and lack of visible
rust, nothing about the sound other than that
it seems to make some.
i love how the bass strap on this one had
been chewed off by rats.
and how the stops 'seem to change the key or something
but i didn;t fool with them a lot'.
the rule of thumb for accordions on EBAY is that unless it was made by one of the master accordion makers from Louisiana, it is pretty much junk. Note how all the boxes on Ebay or Cajun Or Zydeco.
