THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL MODEL M.SOPRANI ACCORDION. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAIRLY NEW ACCORDION. IT IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. THE STRAPS LOOK BRAND NEW. EVERYTHING IS BRIGHT AND SHINY AND LOOKS LIKE NEW. I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT ACCORDIONS BUT I TESTED IT AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK FINE. I THINK IT WAS HARDLY USED AT ALL. IT REALLY BOOMS AND SOUNDS GREAT. IT HAS THAT BADGE ON THE FRONT THAT THEIR ARTISTE MODEL HAS. IT COMES WITH A SOFT CASE BUT I WILL TRY TO FIND A HARD CASE FOR SHIPPING OR GET A SOLID BOX. ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU NEED. I DON'T KNOW MUCH BUT I CAN TRY AND ANSWER THEM. NO RETURNS IT IS TOO HEAVY. S/H/I IS THANKS
