Description from the seller

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY: Weltmeister 120 Bass Vintage Piano Accordion — Year 1962 — EXCEPTIONAL Condition

I am offering at auction a musical engineering gem: a magnificent 120-bass Weltmeister piano accordion with verified historical origin. This instrument is not just a collectible object, but a sonic testament to the prestigious Klingenthal factory in Germany, during its golden era.
Key Data and Historical Value
Brand: Weltmeister (the 'World Champion' of German accordions).
Manufacturing Verified: 1962 (Confirmed by the unique serial number: 01563/62).
Age: More than 60 years of history (Genuine Vintage Piece from the GDR).
Type: Piano accordion, 120 basses (Stradella system), ideal for a full repertoire.
Style: Classic with an elegant black finish and dazzling metal accents in gold/brass and silver.
Condition and Premium Features
This accordion is in exceptional conservation condition (Near-Mint for an instrument of its age), and has been meticulously cared for to ensure professional performance:
Superior Acoustic: It delivers a powerful, warm, authentically vintage sound, characteristic of the high-quality construction materials used in Klingenthal in the 1960s.
Impeccable Mechanics: Piano keys and bass buttons are fully functional, not sticking, with smooth and fast response. The treble stops (about 11) and bass stops (about 5) operate perfectly, offering complete tonal versatility.
Hermetic Bellows: The bellows maintain excellent compression, crucial for expressive musical dynamics, and are free of leaks. I’m not a professional accordionist, but I do not detect any faults.
Outstanding Aesthetics: The glossy black finish and metal decorations are superbly preserved.
Included Accessories:
The accordion is delivered with:
Protective Case/Carrying Backpack (as shown in the images) for protection and convenience.

The Weltmeister brand is synonymous with robust and durable quality. A 1962 120-bass accordion in this condition is increasingly rare to find. It is a perfect piece for:
Vintage Instrument Collectors seeking rare, well-documented pieces.
Professional Musicians who require a high-performance instrument with a unique, historic tonal character.
Don’t miss the chance to own this piece of German musical history!
