decent condition although I know nothing or accordions. I've always thought they were interesting but now I am moving and need to see much of my belongings
Hi Scawt,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Super Stradella is a brand of Italian-made piano accordions, likely named after Stradella, the renowned Lombard town that is historically tied to accordion manufacturing. It has typical full-size piano accordion specifications, with 41 treble keys and 120 bass buttons, 7-9 registers, a 4/5 Low, Mid-Low, Mid, High reed configuration with Italian tremolo tuning, preset chord buttons and weighs slightly more than 20 pounds.
The "Dominateur" model (French for “dominator” or “master”) was marketed as a higher-end or powerful model within the Super Stradella line.
Refurbished Super Stradella accordions of most models can be acquired for between $400 and $1,000 from retailers but when they come to auction, they usually sell "as-is" for prices up to $200 or $250.
