<< 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!

Talk to Randy Potter.  He plays accordian in a polka band, and has worked on 
them as well.  He may have one or know of someone. 

Nice meeting you at K.C.
