Bass reed selector indicator
While there are only two bass reed couplers, there is a unique connection inside that selects a one of two positions each time the coupler is activated. The combinations add up to the same as if there were five different couplers.

- Unique to Pancordion - flapper style reed selectors
There may be others, but I only know of one brand of accordion using this style of reed selectors, shifts, couplers, or whatever you want to call them.

Scandalli Showman
Here is a beautiful Scandalli Showman. By comparison to most accordion models there were not a lot of these made. It is a collectors item for sure. And what a beautiful sound it makes. The reeds were a better quality than their "standard" models It is tuned to A 444hz The bass has a low G instead of A or C. I did a mild restoration including replating of the Gold plated bits and pieces and new straps. Somebody had to have it more than me, but I did enjoy it while I had it!
