Vintage & Beautiful Bandonion Ready to Play, made in Germany, by the Alfred Arnold company (AA). 100 % AA Factory Original, with ORIGINAL ZINC REEDS ( NOT Aluminum replacements ! ) Date Circa: 1945.-  The instrument was made AFTER the Second World war.  It's been recently set-up. It's the ideal instrument to play Argentine Tango, as it has the Argentine layout (71 buttons). It has 33 keys on the left side and 38 and the right, therefore 71 keys (a tango style keyboard). Please be advised that this is the original DIATONIC instrument (you get different sounds while opening and shutting down the bellows). So, it is NOT cromatic, which is an easier instrument to learn but which lacks the real "feel" or "soul" of the Tango bandonion. Condition: In EXCELLENT condition for its age and use. It work perfectly and it has the original bellows with not loss air and good compression. It was recently conditioned and tuned by a Professional Tuner Ricardo Matteo, (http://bandoneones.blogspot.com/). Listen to the wonderful sound!!!,  we have provided a record in You-Tube.
