Hi Y'all

As if the typical ins and outs of pianos aren't enough to drive me
nuts I am in search for an accordion.  Specifically I am looking for a
full-sized 120 bass, probably a 4/5 read set or better, and with a
full-sized 41 key scale, (18-3/4" or 19" +).  This means that the
keyboard has 41 keys and measures the length mentioned.   I also want
a register with a moderate to wet musette tuning.  (This is where
piano tuners will start getting interested).  For those not familiar,
on reed instruments such as accordions one of the reed sets may be
tuned slightly sharp for a vibrato effect, a condition known as a
"wet" tuning.  Conversely pure unisons would be a "dry" tuning.
Learned something about accordions today, didn't ya...  probably
didn't care!!  ;~)

Okay, so if anyone has one of these sitting in the back of a closet
somewhere collecting dust please let me know.  Italian made is
essential and I would prefer basic black, (picky, picky).  Also,
light-weight would earn you brownie points, (say 22-28 lbs), and a
master bar is a plus.

Thanks!
