Vntg Accordion Paolo Soprani 25 B/W Key 32 Bass, Nice Casing Some Reeds Need Set

Description

Neat Vintage Paolo Soprani Accordion, Casing Looks Terrific but Needs many Reeds Reset.  Extremely Rare, Possibly a Training Model
25 Piano Keys, 32 Bass Keys
Approx: 12.5" W x 6.5" H x 13" D (closed), 9 lbs
Just Reduced!
Sharp looking accordion with very nice outer casing and bellows, but many glue-in reeds need re-glued and attached.  Very rare item as we could not find another just like it, most have far more keys and buttons and a re larger.  This may be a training model or other, but it looks very nice. There is no carrying case, but it will shipped with extreme care.
The inside is very clean as shown in pictures, but of course a lot of the reeds have become detached.  We photographed the detached reeds (29) and we think they are all present, but we are not 100% sure.  The closest model to this we could find (a 26 note) sold for over 0, we are selling ours for half of that as it obviously needs work.  When the bellows are expanded and pressed this will play on the notes with reeds still in place and the sound is strong.  The bellows appear really nice, no splits or other.  Our guess is that this may have been stored in an area that was a little too warm and that allowed glue to react and keys become detached, but that is a guess.  There does not appear to be any other notable damage as shown other than the detached reeds and some minor wear to the exterior.  Please review all pictures taken for your consideration and use zoom feature if needed.  We are selling this a repair needed item of course and pricing accordingly as noted (pardon the pun).
We are not experts on musical instruments although we have sold many over the years including some exceptional accordions, but we have tried to describe the item as best we could.  Let us know if you have questions.
