This accordion is perfect for me. I had a 48bass and wanted a greater range of chords but didn't want a heavier instrument as I could only just pick up the 48bass. This compact 60bass is exactly what I needed and it has a much mellower tone which I love. Because of Covid I wasn't able to visit Reed Lounge to try it before purchase but I was confident that any instrument Murray was selling would be in perfect condition. And it is.
