 Very nice Antique Noble Futuramic Accordion in the case  complete with Straps

This great accordion is one of a trio of accordions that came to us this week from the estate of a local musician who played them all over the Kansas City area for years. We know very little about accordions , but we had our luthiers play the keyboards on each one we got to make sure that the piano keys played and that they were the right picth and they seemed great. Since we have no idea what the 120 buttons on these things do, we just made sure they played and worked properly and we made sure that the switches made the sound change when we flipped them. Unfortunately, that is about all we could do.

This particular accordion itself appears to be in great shape with no leaks in the bellows. no cracking or rotting, no physical damage, or nothing else that would make you think they were anything other than well cared for and well loved instruments. This one does have a musty smell in the case, and I have never been a fan of musty smelling instruments, so I am telling you that out front. 

Since I don’t really know any more, I am going to ask that you judge the instrument by the photos in the ad. 

We think it is just fine but we are selling it as-is, just like we got it. That doesn’t mean you can’t send it back, but it does mean that if you don’t want it, the shipping will be your responsibility. 

Here is a little info I was able to find online: 

Noble was the brand of Don Noble Co., in Chicago, made by  

Made in the 1950's Noble accordions were finely crafted in Italy and sounded better than many of their more expensive rivals.
