Dirge Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 It's for sale in NZ. hereSeems a huge amount of money to me (there's 2.5 kiwi$ to the £) but I wouldn't know (or want it); but the pedigree sounds good.

Dirge, Good doble-A (Alfred Arnold) tango Bandoneons, in top condition, do fetch a good price. However, the seller doesn't mention how many notes this one has, or show (all-important) pictures of the ends, so it isn't even possible to tell if this one actually is a tango Bandoneon, and the price does sound high.

It's very steep. You can actually get a perfect AA (with zinc plates) for U.S $6,000.00 tops, and anywhere between $3,500.00 and $6,000.00. $11,000.00 kiwi is U.S$8.700. I am an AA bandoneon owner myself. For that money, I'd order a new one from Harry Geuns, an excellent manufacturer, and I'd still have enough money left to buy a concertina! Very funny, Leo !
Dirge Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 I wouldn't want the thing anyway, I was just being helpful. As I was typing it I was mentally comparing it, extremely unfavourably, to my duets. How do you do that Leo? Is it a separate font, Kiwi writing?

Laitch Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks for editing your last post, Leo. It made it a lot more clear.
m3838 Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Leo just turned his computer upside-down and typed it. Pretty uncomfortable, I say.
