Zupan Juwel V 96 EF/MHR Cassotto Akkordeon Shadow Red

I have played this accordion professionally for the last 14 years. Great sound, smooth easy action, helicon basses when you want them, and total reliability. No mechanical problems whatsoever. Tuned slightly once over that time. I have been playing about 30-35 days a year and have taken it overseas 8 times. The Zupans are simply the best available folk instruments on the planet. I recently sold my older Zupan... made in Menges, in the 1980's, to a friend as I am am curtailing my performance dates and I simply don't anticipate needing a back-up accordion as the Juwel 96 acts like it is still brand new....I hope future customers don't go for the lesser brands or the new digital akkordeons...the Zupan sets the standard!! The older Zupans with the short black keys are the fastest keyboards on the planet, with great tone. My newer one is just about as fast and the tone is equivalent.
