Victoria Accordion
This is must surely be the most beautiful accordion ever created. This was created by Victoria Accordions who have been in Castelfidardo since 1919.
Let me know if you know of a nicer one than this.

Cool. It's good to be able to hear one in action.

About the Victoria Accordion picture and the comment,"Let me know of a nicer one than this." I do know of one equally as nice, but different. Mine is birds-eye maple: 41, 4 / 5, 120, one palm switch, no base switches. It is beautiful with a fabuluous "USA" scroll and carved grill, and inlays around the body. I believe it is old because the base wrist strap is mounted on the outside of the body and there is no air release button. Three sets of treble reeds are tuned dry in the same octave and play at the same time. The fourth set of reeds, also tuned dry, is one octave lower and is turned on or off by the palm switch. These reeds play only in unison with the other sets of treble reeds., not alone. There is no identification on the accordion, no name, no number, no model.
