A recent edition to my collection. Produced in Germany 1958. I was told by the seller that the lady he was selling it for was older (my age) purchased it new. Intended to learn to play when she returned to the states. It seems it was never played hardly at all. The case isn't worn from taking it in and out. Nothing shows any wear and no scratches. The leather in the straps has no stains or wear. It's like a new old accordion. It was very stiff when I got it. The more I play it the sweeter it gets. There is a certain softness/sweetness to the musette of these Morino's This one of course has the double tone chamber.
