Hohner Amati VIII, 4 Voice, 120 Bass, 5 Row, C System, Chromatic Accordion.
Up for sale, I have a Hohner Amati VIII, 5 row C system accordion for sale. It has 4 treble voices (LMMM), treble (Musette Tuned), 49 notes, ranging from A (A, lower than a 41 note piano accordion) to Bb (higher than the high A on a 41 key piano accordion), so that it has a 5 octave range from the lowest A to the highest A. It has 2 sliding couplers, behind the treble keyboard, making available 4 combinations of reed configurations, these are, M (Clarinet), LM (Bassoon and Clarinet), MMM (Musette) and LMMM (Master). It has 5 sets of reeds in the bass, with 1 sliding coupler switching between upper reeds (high) and master, all reeds sounding. Bass and treble reeds have been re-valved, and tuned to concert pitch (A = 440Hz). Both the bass and treble have been re pallated. The accordion is made by Hohner, an excellent Italian manufacturer, Circa, early 's, so it is a quality instrument, using the finest of materials. Treble keyboard buttons and felts are original and have been levelled. I have replaced 3 of the diminished buttons in the bass section. It weighs 10kg, 22lbs. It has also been serviced with adjustments, replacements and cosmetic touches made where required. The compression is excellent. The accordion comes with a new ruck sack (Retail at about £100). Both the shoulder and bass straps are not original but are of good quality Italian make. The bellows straps are original. I have kept the price of all my accordions to the absolute minimum. Accordions, by nature, are very complex and have an extraordinary amount of moving parts (the bigger they are, the more work is involved) and therefore consume a vast amount of time in an overhaul to bring them up to a high standard of playability. Please bear this in mind when you consider buying one. My name is Gordon and I am a professional accordion/Melodeon repairer, tuner and MIDI installer for Blue Line MIDI systems. In addition to the above, I am offering 1 hour’s, free tuition valid for 1 month after the purchase of the accordion. Unfortunately, I cannot discount from the accordion, the price of the lesson to anyone who cannot take up my offer of the hour’s free lesson. If you are just looking for tuition, or maybe needing a repair to your accordion or melodeon, just give me a call on the above number, and I am sure I will be able to fit you in. I can convert double octave accordions into musette, or 2 voice, octave tuning into tremolo tuning at a very competitive price. I teach both piano accordion and chromatic (5Row) C system accordions in many different styles, for all ages. I am now able to provide this service through Skype, so if you live in a remote area, providing you have a reliable internet service, you can have lessons from the comfort of your home. I also teach piano and music theory (up to grade 6), keyboards and bass guitar. I am prepared to post this accordion at buyer’s own expense. I will give a weight of the accordion for postage purpose; where upon the buyer can arrange a courier to pick it up from my premises. I am prepared to pack the accordion free of charge, but I will not be liable for any damage that might occur in transportation. It is up to the individual whether they insure it or not. Alternately, I can do the courier arrangements and packing for a flat rate of £20, not including insurance. Sorry, no overseas postage. Thank you for looking. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
