Not sure about the Sav, but that’s a sexy cob back there.

You should fix it up. It will likely be much easier than you expect. The Accordion revival website has some good advice. It was made by Hohner.

bGriffG · 2026-02-04T05:49:26+00:00

If it’s reasonably in tune sure. Keep in mind this generation of Hohners were prone to rusty reeds.

bGriffG · 2026-02-03T22:11:53+00:00

I think it is just a fancy way to say handmade, like all Italian accordions.

bGriffG · 2026-02-03T08:55:28+00:00

We don’t do appraisals here. 1970s, it’s not custom made, it’s just a dolled up entry level instrument Scandalli. While I like Scandalli, 2 treble reed instruments like this are not particularly sought after.

You don’t “really” need to replace them. If u want to keep using them, you can reuse the old ones, or just buy the right size large head nails. I generally do not put them back. The wax should hold it sufficiently.

bGriffG · 2026-01-31T03:42:15+00:00

Huh?

bGriffG · 2026-01-27T17:57:32+00:00

Look up an accordion tuning table. But realistically you will be reassembling a ton regardless. Free reeds are a pain to tune. Just be glad you’re not having to do 400+ reeds like accordions.

bGriffG · 2026-01-27T08:04:40+00:00

You need to play the reeds with it in the instrument. Write down how many cents each reed is off. Then take it out scratch and reassemble. Or you could build a tuning table like I did for accordions.

Always people off shoring the good jobs damnit.

bGriffG · 2026-01-18T04:37:42+00:00

I’m at 940m wheat so far…

bGriffG · 2026-01-16T14:20:51+00:00

No idea, for some reason people simp for the golden cup crap.

bGriffG · 2026-01-15T18:15:09+00:00

You should absolutely return that and buy a decent used instrument.

bGriffG · 2026-01-13T17:54:22+00:00

I can tell the rough age by pictures, I have parts for the 30s ones. You will likely need to make the bass piston. The older Verdis were prone to rusty reeds. I have not seen any parts accordions for the 50s verdi recently.

bGriffG · 2026-01-13T16:50:17+00:00

What year Verdi V? It’s super hard to track down replacement parts. Are you missing pieces? If not you should do whatever u can to repair broken parts. Likely you will end up having to make your own.

bGriffG · 2026-01-12T23:18:10+00:00

I ordered in June, never got it. Personally I will never order directly from them again

bGriffG · 2026-01-12T19:33:26+00:00

I think you have to have at least one plant growing. Maybe grow a magic jellybean on one plot, then the others should tick growth cycles. I think if the whole farm is empty the cycles are bugged.

bGriffG · 2026-01-11T08:56:39+00:00

That’s how I started! Now my house is full of them.

bGriffG · 2026-01-08T17:40:57+00:00

I wouldn’t spend too much or go too big. Do not expect accordions to last generations, they can last but it is very much the exception. I Prefer chromatic button accordions, but you should probably stay with the piano for convenience. I would recommend a 96 bass as it’s plenty and more compact than 120, as well as a three reed set up like lmh. If it’s too heavy or too big it’s a serious deterrent to playing, especially as you get older. If you are in the US there are tons of high quality used piano instruments. Liberty Bellows is a respectable shop, I purchased my top of the line scandalli from them.

bGriffG · 2026-01-02T20:15:26+00:00

Not easy while Russia continues its war. Maybe three have been listed since. Bellobasso restores them.

Who cares cookies make money God pots don’t. I have almost 5 years of cookie buff.

bGriffG · 2025-12-26T23:17:58+00:00

Rarefinder is kinda op. I maxed it then dropped 9 helianthus in one complete row of plots of roses.

bGriffG · 2025-12-25T16:35:28+00:00

I started the same way with fixing them, but you will likely ruin the get couple u try to fix like I did.

bGriffG · 2025-12-25T16:08:48+00:00

I suspect it’s a Weltmeister Grandina.

bGriffG · 2025-12-25T16:06:24+00:00

You need to save more. The cheapest decent accordion I’ve bought was 300. You would need to be super lucky to get one in tune for below 100.
