BUGARI ARMANDO 288 XOANNA PROFESSIONAL DOUBLE TONE CHAMBER ACCORDION - SUPERB

Description

I am assisting the owner with the sale of this accordion.
The Bugari Armando 288 Xoana is a professional 120-bass double tone chamber (cassotto) piano accordion handcrafted in Castelfidardo, Italy, featuring a distinctive wood finish and handmade (A Mano) reeds. Reeds are stamped 'Artigiana Professionale ' On the treble side there are 41 keys and 13 treble switches plus master. On the bass side there are 120 bass buttons with 5 sets of reeds and 7 bass registers. Tuning is concert with a configuration of 4' + 8' + 8' + 16'
Weight : 11.5kg. Comes with wheeled case
The 288 Xoanna is designed for professional musicians seeking a rich, warm, and far-projecting tone. The double tone chamber gives the clarinet and bassoon voices a deep, round quality, while remaining air-efficient and responsive under varying bellows pressure.

THIS ACCORDION IS LIKE NEW AND PLAYED VERY LITTLE. THE OWNER BOUGHT IT NEW BUT HEALTH ISSUES PREVENTED HIM PLAYING IT FOR SOME YEARS AND FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS HE ONLY MANAGED TO PLAY IT BRIEFLY HALF A DOZEN TIMES DURING THE YEAR OTHERWISE IT WAS KEPT IN ITS CASE. HE HAS FINALLY RELUCTANTLY DECIDED TO SELL IT AND HAS SINCE BOUGHT A SMALLER ACCORDION. HE PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2017 FOR £8,500 AND IS OFFERED AT A SIMILAR NEW CONDITION BUT NEARLY HALF THE PRICE!

I currently have it at my location in Teddington (TW11) but it will be returned on 19th September to the owner who lives in Sanderstead near Croydon.

I HAVE MADE A VIDEO OF IT BEING PLAYED WHICH I CAN SEND TO A PHONE.
