    Hi,
    I found this at my local thrift this morning; it is in beautiful condition & when I went to pick it up, it's bellow opened & a note played .
    So I bought it!
    But I can't find another with a similar nameplate - maybe it's the model name?
    Does anyone know who the maker is? And is it worth the $125 i paid?!
    Thanks all

    Everyone know the old joke? "What's the difference between an onion and an accordion? No one cries when you chop up an accordion."

    I always run for the hills when I see accordions at sales. Such a finicky market with a lot of nuance.

    I found this sold listing for one like yours. Seems to have been given a once over by a music company.

    Thank you Any Jewelry & Sabre 123 - i can breathe a little easier!
    Pearlsnblume & Debora - i think a video is a good idea; i will warn ahead that the only time I've played before is when I accidentally let go of 1 side & it "played" as the bellow unfolded when the end fell to the floor!
    Thank you all!!

    OK, now...what's the translation from Cyrillic to English for Accordion? A curious mind inquires.

    usually the more buttons the better with accordions, means its not a starter/novice model so thumbs up
