The used Italian accordion checklist
A used instrument can be a wonderful entry into Italian accordion culture. A calm inspection is the best first accessory.
Buying & Collecting
Buying & Collecting
Inspect, compare and document an instrument before you commit money, time or a place in your collection.
What a serial number can actually tell you
A serial number is a clue in a chain of evidence, not a universal passport for every accordion.
Use the atlas to build provenance questions
The signature reference maps the Italian accordion through makers, models, artists, regions, styles and recordings. Every relationship is a lead to verify, not a decorative connection.
