Beautiful and rare Argentinean bandoneon (black/mother-of-pearl) over 60 years old. In extraordinary shape, bearing the famous Luis Mariani plaque. Favorite instrument of an Argentinean tango dancer-legend. Unbelievable left-hand voices. Price US$2,000 (non-negotiable).
After I sent the previous announcement to the list, I was told that the bandoneon was actually one of the rare ones manufactured in Argentina by Luis Mariani. See http://mx.geocities.com/cesar_olguin_mx/del_bandoneon.html. The other information in my previous announcement was accurate. It is not my bandoneon. I am a friend of the owner (who is visiting from Argentina). The owner does not have e-mail access. I've handled this bandoneon. The bellows are tight. The action is smooth and easy. Very little effort is required to start the reeds vibrating. It has a beautiful sound. The body is in black lacquer with mother-of-pearl inlay in the three-flowers pattern. The bandoneon is in Montreal, Canada. E-mail me if you want to inspect the bandoneon or if you want more information. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
