Tuning of all keys (440hz, etc.): Not tested.
Air Leaks: The bellows are in immaculate cosmetic condition with no visible wear on the folds. Since the instrument has never been played, it has not undergone exhaustive pressure tests, but visually there are no signs of air leaks.

Defects: No cosmetic defects. The instrument has no scratches, dings or missing parts, presenting in a cosmetic state "as new". It should be noted that, having been stored unused for decades, it may require routine internal servicing by a luthier (reed seals or valve skins that may have dried over time).

Extra Included Items: Includes the original leather straps. Does not include a hard case.

Other Specifications: Instrument of particular provenance, in collectible cosmetic condition ("New Old Stock"). The piece has always been stored and never played, which explains the red pearl celluloid finish still bright and the total absence of wear on the buttons and exterior structure.
