Here's an interesting old accordion.
It reads: "Jos. Kebrdle, Horovice" It has 70 buttons on the one side and and 49 at the other side.
Horovice seems to be in the Czech Republic.
It reminds me very much of the accordion used by the klezmer band 'Budowitz'.
It sold for just £99 on Ebay, so someone got an interesting little project.

wow, I wonder what the button set-up looks like. lovely.
