Antique Diatonic Saratovskaya Harmonica, Vintage Handmade Garmon, Button Accordion, Old Squeezebox Musical Instrument, Small Bayan Accordion. 2440 #3069

This is a unique, vintage Russian Saratovskaya garmonika (harmonica).

This rare antique handmade harmonica was made in Russia.

This Saratovskaya harmonica, named after the Russian city of Saratov, is a colorful variant on the standard one row push–pull diatonic button accordion. The chief distinguishing characteristic of this little folk accordion is that it plays the tonic scale (and major chord) on the bellows draw and the dominant on the bellows press, the reverse of a standard diatonic box. Another feature is the addition of two bells on the top of the instrument, which are struck with tiny metal hammers and attached to the bass and chord buttons for rhythmic accompaniment. They add a fun accent to dance tunes. It is possible to play the basses lightly and avoid activating the bells, as they become rather tiresome after a while. The basses also have an additional tonic chord button in the center, lighter in tone than the regular chord, which is not attached to the hammers.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the beauty and power of its sound!

Don't miss it!
