MISC: Pre-war Luis Mariani bandoneon for sale. (Was: Pre-war Alfred Arnold (AA) for sale.)

[ming mar <ming_mar @YAHOO.COM>]

Beautiful and rare Argentinean bandoneon
(black/mother-of-pearl) over 60 years old.  In
extraordinary shape, bearing the famous Luis Mariani
plaque.  Favorite instrument of an Argentinean tango
dancer-legend.  Unbelievable left-hand voices.  Price
US$2,000 (non-negotiable).

After I sent the previous announcement to the list, I
was told that the bandoneon was actually one of the
rare ones manufactured in Argentina by Luis Mariani.
See
http://mx.geocities.com/cesar_olguin_mx/del_bandoneon.html.
 The other information in my previous announcement was
accurate.

It is not my bandoneon.  I am a friend of the owner
(who is visiting from Argentina).  The owner does not
have e-mail access.  I've handled this bandoneon.  The
bellows are tight.  The action is smooth and easy.
Very little effort is required to start the reeds
vibrating.  It has a beautiful sound.  The body is in
black lacquer with mother-of-pearl inlay in the
three-flowers pattern.

The bandoneon is in Montreal, Canada.  E-mail me if
you want to inspect the bandoneon or if you want more information.
