Fratelli Crosio – 58key/120 bass C-Griff Accordion £1800

Price –  £1800.00

A fabulous accordion at a great price from one of the world’s foremost French accordion brands – Fratelli Crosio. This instrument has been little used. The current owner used it for playing Manoucche/Hot Club de France-style gypsy jazz   It has three sets of treble reeds (16’+8’+8’+ ) with single cassotto.  The left hand has 120 standard basses with an extra row of counter basses, the extra row being on the augmented 5th degree of the fundamental bass (so from the fundamental bass row in the direction towards the bellow the order is C-E-G#). The action is  quick and the Tipo A Mano reeds by Voci Armoniche which are pinned on cork, are fabulously responsive and have a glorious sound typical of Cavagnolo. The accordion is finished in white celluloide and has stepped keys in both manuals. Comes with original belts and hard case. Please examine the photographs carefully to appreciate the condition of this fine instrument. The instrument is musette-tuned as the accordion in the video. Perfect in every way. Please email us at info@zzmusic.uk to arrange a trial.  The accordion is in London.
