RANCO (ITALY) 4 VOICE MUSETTE 120 BASS PIANO ACCORDION.

mannings — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:25:43 +0000

Here is a Ranco italian made piano accordion, dating from the 1950′s. It has the number 159 pencilled inside.

It is 4 voice musette tuned, with 5 voice 120 bass.
This came from the son of a professional accordion repairer, a valued customer, now sadly departed. His passion was accordions, particularly Rancos. This one was his favourite (i had bought 2 other Rancos from him).

It has replacement bellows (probably Hohner), and a few replacement reeds. The tuning is good. All the reed valves are good. It has 2 couplers on the end of the fingerboard. The couplers on the grille have been removed, hence the 2 oval holes. This was often done as they get in the way when playing.

This is a ‘work’ instrument, and is by no means in perfect condition, it has been played a lot. Saying that, it still plays very well, with the classic Ranco sound. Ranco were considered to be one of, if not the best, accordion makers in Italy.

It has its original, battered case, which has a piece missing from the lid.

Price on application.

VERY RARE “CONCETRUM” SNARE DRUM. 1920′s/30′s?

mannings — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:54:21 +0000

Here is a very rare early snare drum. It is a single head design, with a top snare. I am not sure if it is complete, the tension bolts look like they are in the wrong place, but do not fit the unused holes in the top rim. The bottom rim is fixed (glued), and looks like it always has been. The very worn transfer label reads ” W.C RODWELL & Co LTD – CONSETRUM (TRADE MARK)”. Around the middle of the drum in the label, i think it says “BARROW IN FURNESS”.

This is an highly unusual snare drum.

Price = £25.
