ITALIAN "BASTARI" G/C CONCERTINA FOR SALE

I bought this concertina in Dussledorfe Germany in 1989. It has Modell M60 marked on it which I am informed by The Button Box this is a Bastari now Stagi W15 style built for the European market. It is MINT MINT condition without a scratch or blemish and totally playable. Ive checked the tuning with an electronic tuner and a few of the notes are very slightly sharp. This is probably due to it not being played very often. I never did get the hang of it. My instrument is the classical guitar.

The reeds are the steel accordian type also in mint condition as are the leather flaps. No mould , wear or dampness. The 8 fold bellows are leather and in pristine condition having been conditioned periodically and stored in a cloth bag in a low humidty area during the time I have owned it. They are made up of 8 bellows and flex with ease. The holding straps are in original condition without wear. All 30 buttons are in excellent shape and functioning and arranged in the wheatstone pattern All notes are clear and operational.

May 5 I will be posting this concertina on E Bay later today
NOTE: THIS CONCERTINA WAS SOLD ON E BAY FOR $ 400.00 US May 14, 2009
