Description
Up for sale, I have a Cavagnolo, which is made in France. It is a 5 row, C system chromatic accordion. Year of manufacture, Cica 1970?s.
It has 4 sets of reeds (LMMM), in the treble, 55 notes, ranging from, (clarinet) C2 to G7, covering a range of just under 5 octaves.
It has 5 levers behind the treble keyboard, each lever is double acting. This makes available 9 combinations of reed configurations, starting from the top:
No 1 up (MMM), down (LMMM),
No2 up (M), down (LM),
No3 up and down (L),
No 4 up (M-M), down (M+M),
No 5 up (LM-M), down (LM+M)
It has 5 sets of reeds and 3 couplers, in the bass.
The couplers are:
Starting from the bottom, Low reeds, Master, and High reeds.
The bass buttons board is stepped and are the mushroom type.
This accordion is in excellent working order.
It weighs 11.8kg, 26lbs.
Both the treble and bass have been re tuned A= 440 Hz. The three clarinet reeds in the treble, have been musette tuned.
It has been serviced with adjustments, replacements and cosmetic touches made where required.
The compression is excellent.
The accordion comes with fairly new shoulder straps and rucksack type case.
I have put on bellows straps.
I have kept the price of all my accordions to the absolute minimum. Accordions, by nature, are very complex and have an extraordinary amount of moving parts (the bigger they are, the more work is involved) and therefore consume a vast amount of time in an overhaul to bring them up to a high standard of playability. Please bear this in mind when you consider buying one.
My name is Gordon and I am a professional accordion/Melodeon repairer, tuner and MIDI installer for Blue Line MIDI systems.
In addition to the above, I am offering 1 hour?s, free tuition valid for 1 month after the purchase of the accordion.
Unfortunately, I cannot discount from the accordion, the price of the lesson to anyone who cannot take up my offer of the hour?s free lesson.
If you are just looking for tuition, or maybe needing a repair to your accordion or melodeon, just give me a call on the above number, and I am sure I will be able to fit you in. I can convert double octave accordions into musette, or 2 voice, octave tuning into tremolo tuning at a very competitive price.
I teach both piano accordion and chromatic (5Row) C system accordions in many different styles, for all ages. I am now able to provide this service through Skype, so if you live in a remote area, providing you have a reliable internet service,
you can have lessons from the comfort of your home.
I also teach piano and music theory (up to grade 6), keyboards and bass guitar.
I am prepared to post this accordion at buyer?s own expense. I will give a weight of the accordion for postage purpose; where upon the buyer can arrange a courier to pick it up from my premises. I am prepared to pack the accordion free of charge, but I will not be liable for any damage that might occur in transportation. It is up to the individual whether they insure it or not.
Alternately, I can do the courier arrangements and packing for a flat rate of ?20 (UK), not including insurance.
Overseas postage available, prices will vary depending on destination.
Buyer pays for all custom taxes etc.
Sensible offers will be considered.
Thank you for looking.
