Re: Re: Set of Italian reeds for sale on ebay

If you were thinking of putting them in an Old Hohner I should think it might be worth consideration, but putting handmade Italian reeds into any Chinese box I've seen would be a waste. You would still have lousy treble mechanism and vulnernable to all the other potential breakage and misfunctionings of sub-standard boxes.

When your buttons turn to mush or squeak or stick, it will be a shame to know there are Italian handmade reeds in there..

That would be a Ventriloquist Accordion.. lending a voice to dummy : )

Just my 2 cents.. ( the price is very good on them though !.. best used in an LA box ).

Beware of the $157 shipping cost - that brings the total to over $300!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Set of Italian reeds for sale on ebay

Even with out the shipping the deal is not that good. The parts are not leathered and they are export grade. AKA #3's

Hi everyone anybody knows where can I buy the cagnoni reeds I would like to get the 34 full set for my acordion?I'll appreciate your help thanks

Re: Set of Italian reeds for sale on ebay

I am not an expert on this topic, but that sounds a little pricey for a set of machine made reeds (as opposed to "a mano" or "tipo a mano"). I don't recall what a set of handmade #1 reeds for a Cajun accordion costs, but I do remember that a full set of Binci #1's for a triple row only added around a couple hundred bucks to the price of a new Baffetti accordion.

And $157 for shipping and handling!!! That is a total ripoff! Surely that must be a typo.

Re: Re: Set of Italian reeds for sale on ebay

I bought a complete set of Binci "a mano" reeds in D directly from Claudio Binci a couple of years ago. The price was 118 Euro, or about $150 + shipping of about $50.

I used the D reeds to replace the C reeds in the Martin i bought from Glenn that already had a few broken reeds and was in need of a complete retune.

That is the right price ... on those Handmades ( leathered or not )

The listing is an honest price..the shipping is ridiculous.. and total ripoff..

buyer beware.
