Parrot Piano Accordion 120 Bass 41 keys Black Color T5001-B

Poor quality overall, in its reeds, action, and tone. Not for a real musician who wants a quality product. Cheep, yes, and that's what you actually get. This instrument will not hold-up well over time. Just not for a true performer.

The accordion I bought was not so good as my expectation. Its timbre was not that brand as my original one at home. The sound seems low, and you have to press hard the key to make exactly the same amount of volume as I did before. I am not sure how to express it in English. But one of the bazz on the left which is used to control the flow of air is broken when I bought it.

I've owned several Parrot full sized , (i.e. 120 bass, 19' keyboard Accordions. They have good quality reeds that hold tune well, tuned with a medium mussette, or vibrato, - works well with folk, cajun , or polka . You can also use the low, middle, and high reeds together for combinations of sounds without the vibrato . Keyboard and base section action is not up to the level of a $3,000.00 instrument, but is not bad, easy to play. Weight is around 24 pounds, try a 72 or 48 bass model to have a lighter instument. An older Professional Accordionist thought that the inner workings and construction of the accordion was identical to the Scandelli accordions made in the 1950's, a very well known and regarded maker.

They are easy to repair. Quality control needs to be improved. Stan
