LEGENDARY SANO Concert Master V.GOOD CONDITION
This is an opportunity to acquire one of the top 10 accordions of our time!
Through the years, there have been certain accordion models which were considered the most prestigious to own and which continue to be the most sought after models for collectors, enthusiasts and professionals alike. The Scandalli Super 6, Dallape Super Maestro, Excelsior Symphony Grand, PanCordion Super Baton, and Sonola SS20 make up a good part of this elite group of accordions, not to mention certain Hohner, Petosa and Bell models, as well. Included in this grouping is, without question, the SANO Concert Master.
The Concert Master pictured above is one of the better preserved pieces of this hard to find model. The treble keyboard alignment is straight as an arrow and the key tops are white with no yellowing and virtually without wear. Action is exactly as it was meant to be on this model. There is little or no mechanical noise from the keyboard, just the sound of the valve hammers returning to their resting position. This sound is of average loudness (not quiet and not annoyingly loud, either).
The bass keyboard mechanism is very good, with medium resistance to finger depression. You can feel the quality of the keyboards when you play this instrument. The bass plate surrounding the buttons shows only very slight yellowing – a sign that this accordion has aged very gracefully.
Famous SANO Stereo microphones are on board.
Tuning is LMMH Concert type – with Hand Made Reeds and two sets of reeds in the tone chamber. The accordion is absolutely in a “pick up and play” condition. Checking each and every reed block for dead notes, it appears that among all of the 4 treble reed blocks there are 5 or 6 notes which need attention. The instrument is very powerful and responds immediately and can fulfill the player’s demands flawlessly.
The bellows show no excessive air leaks and are in generally good condition. There are a few areas where the bellows edges show wear through the taping – but there are no perceivable points where any air leaks are evident. Bellows interior color is black.
The body condition of this SANO Concert Master is good to very good – showing little more than typical hairline scratches from years of handling.
Metalwork is in very good condition, with no rust or even wear-off. The case is also in unusually good condition with no odors. It is obvious that this instrument was stored at room temperature and used at home – not out on the job by a professional. (The owner is not a pro, but rather an accordion enthusiast who only played the instrument in the home.)
This accordion is approximately 50 years old and weighs 28 lbs with cassotto.
