Possibly the very first American Polka accordion.

Personally built by the legendary Alfonso Baldoni.


After a conversation with Ivo, Alfonso's son, he confirmed that is was ordered by my aunt, in 1985. It was definitely in the first batch of 20.

Judging by the serial number ( 10117-1-85 ) it is more than likely the very first A. Baldoni American Polka ever built.

This accordion was not only played professionally by my aunt, it was also played by famed artist, Frankie Yankovic, on a parade float in Michigan, in the late 1980's.

It is in great condition, with the exception of one missing jewel, from one of the treble switches. Ivo said he can provide a replacement, if given an exact measurement. 

Included are original case, amplifier cords, and original straps, which do show a little wear.

I am located 15 miles away from the intersection of I-75 and The Florida Turnpike, you are welcome to stop by and play this marvelous instrument. 

open to a reasonable cash offer....
