Paolo Soprani, made around 1955, tuned B/C The older Paolo Soprani is tuned as most of these boxes are, in B/C. It has 4 voices, 3 reeds in the middle octave tuned slightly apart for that old, "wet" sound, and a reed one octave below those, which can be switched on or off by a quick press on one of the 2 couplers. This box still has a wooden soundboard, which gives it a warm, pleasant sound. Which doesn't mean it isn't loud - it is still loud enough to be used for dances outdoors. The action is very smooth and the buttons are set really low into the keyboard, allowing you to almost "slide" on or off a button without having to lift your fingers - you can play this box fast once you're used to it. Beautiful condition - a must for a collector or player!  No Reserve Place a Bid!
