These accordions on SALE have been recently serviced but we have decided to stick to VINTAGE GUITARS and AMPLIFIERS!! We no longer will be selling accordions.

**Here at Gordy's Music in Ferndale, Michigan, we are so proud, happy, and grateful, to have gotten this certificate and been picked as one of Reverb's TOP 300 SELLERS! What an honor! We want to start by thanking all of you, our customers, my partner wife Marcia, my top notch crew, and Reverb.com. Together we have quite a team and will strive to get this certificate year after year.

Although Gordy's Music specializes in vintage guitar and amplifier gear, I have sold hundreds of accordions and vintage synthesizers over the past 4 decades. I was raised on the accordion and classically trained for 10 years at the age of 5 by my late father Ben Lupo.  My dad was a professional accordion-keyboard player for 73 years from the age of 13 and I have on my wall here at the shop here his 70-year member plaque from the Detroit Local 5 Federation of Musicians Union as well as several plaque trophies earned from the 3 all accordion bands, he led in competitions back then that I participated in as a kid. I miss my father and he taught me all about the accordion. Raised on spaghetti and the accordion.

Here we have a very fine Catiglione 120 bass accordion. This Castiglione accordion is very high in quality. I was raised on Excelsior accordions which are first class instruments and this accordion ranks right up there in my book. I knew John Castiglione and my Dad bought some nice accordions from him for himself and a few of his 60 student. John had a great reputation here in Detroit and had a very fine family run business.

This model has 5 shifts on the right hand and 2 on the left, and was made in Italy. Cosmetically very clean and unblemished, less some very fine hard to even see surface scratches, looking like it was hardly ever played yet well cared for. The sound is rich and full, and was gone through by our accordion technician and he reset all the reeds and reglued all the valves. This accordion is ready to pick up and play. Bellows are nice and tight no leaks. Leather straps in great shape.

Superb playability, TONE, and gorgeous.

I get calls just about every day and look at several accordions every month, as we are the only store in lower Michigan selling & repairing accordions. I have a soft spot in my heart for them from my Pop as told above.
