I was a Titano dealer when I had my music store for 50 years and sold hundreds of Titano accordions. The case is  original; in good stable condition; has some wear inside ; has an apron cover.This instrument has an absolutely gorgeous sound; very bright; mellow and sweet voicings; plus a very nice MUSETTE sound.It is VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT.I will pack the bass section so the buttons do not collapse during transit.  Paypal is accepted; I'm not sure if Ebay still allows money orders; If they do I would accept a Postal Money Order or Bank Cashiers Check. I will only  ship to the lower 48 states. Insurance is a must. Shipping is $55.00. The carton will be oversize which costs more. I have shipped hundreds of accordions; I use bubble wrap and foam peanuts for packing.
