Accordion for sale       One-owner vintage Petosa accordion for sale     "Petosa Heirloom model, one of five built" 1978 Petosa organ-accordion with Tone chamber, Randall amplifier, Musician's stool, Music stand and Odds & Ends. ( More information & photos below ) MORE PHOTOS Top view Left side view Back view     • Background: I purchased this accordion from Joe Petosa at his store in the University District of Seattle, in 1978, trading back the "ladies" acoustical accordion I bought there about three years earlier. My small hands were trained to reach a full (piano) octave, so over-reaching had been a constant problem. Not so for this new, full sized one! He described it then as a special Heirloom model, one of only five made. In Italy.     • Expertise: None. I am not a musician. Never was, but made it through ten years of classical piano training (at my mother's insistance). Accordion was my dream. I located a teacher of accordion and took lessons. I did enjoy learning, and found relief from daily life / job stress via this awesome "squeeze-box" – so much fun to play! I have not touched it for maybe 15 years. If it were an automobile, it would be a 'low mileage' one for sure! It's always been stored inside the house – room temperature – never mishandled – never "loaned out".     • Condition:  IF indeed the electronics have failed, then I would again liken this to an automobile, where a preserved item of historic significance might well be worth some restoring, reinvesting, and/or reinventing. I believe Petosa Accordions could do a fantastic job of it! It is a beautiful accordion!     • Price:   Asking $3200 USD for everything (see photos) – offers seriously considered. Must pickup in Sedro-Woolley, Washington State, USA. I find myself too soon old and weak to lift it – sadly, it's time for me to let it go. Can pay easily and securely via PayPal ...

Everything is too heavy for me to lift now days.)
