ANTIQUE "RAMBOCH ACCORDEON"

This "Ramboch Accordeon" is completely ORIGINAL, and there are no Buttons or Reeds missing.  Even the PAINT is good on this fine old instrument!!!!

This very old accordion originated in Germany, c. 1920. It's from Germany, but all I could find for information was using the name "Rambach" instead of "Ramboch", which on Google Earth states: Rambach
level: populated place
location: Bamberg, Oberfranken, Bayern, Germany
coordinates: 49° 46' 0" North, 10° 36' 0" East
I don't know anything about music or musical instruments so I cannot give any expert facts, only what I can see. This "RAMBOCH ACCORDEON" has 10 buttons, and is constructed of Bronze Steel Reeds, Wood, and Leather.  There are no apparent tears in the "bellows or accordian" sections.  The Paint is still in nice condition, and shows well.  Both of the cloth straps are in need of replacement as they are quite frail because of their age. Everything else on this instrument is nice and SOLID. 

The name "Ramboch Accordeon" is above the 10 Steel Bronze Reeds, and on the top is "Ramboch Accordeon", "Made in Germany", "Handmade Steel Bronze Reeds", & "Warranted Finest Quality".

This instrument weighs 1670 Grams, and it measures 28 x 24 x 14 cms. CLOSED.

PLEASE READ! (If you don't, then don't complain) 

Most of the items I sell are from Estate sales, auctions etc. and are old or vintage items, not perfect. I try to describe the items the best I can by pointing out cracks, chips, paint wear, etc..   ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD "AS IS", so if you have any questions please e-mail me before you bid.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MY WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS:  I AM A RETIRED (GENTLE)MAN WHO TOOK TO EBAYING AS A HOBBY TO KEEP BUSY.  IT IS NOT A BUSINESS, AND IT CERTAINLY ISN'T MEANT TO BE MY LIVELIHOOD!!         NOW!!!  A word on shipping and the new  "Detailed Seller Ratings" System.....please note my positive feedback with over 700 total sales..... Ebay is now establishing selling fees and item placement based on the "Detailed Seller Ratings" and not on feedback.  Because of the quality/ fragile items I often sell,  I try to ensure that all items are shipped with adequate packing and protection so that they arrive to the customer in the condition that they were at time of bidding.  This means that there are times when I have to use bigger boxes and with the amount of protection in the boxes, the weight is heavier, and all this adds up to higher shipping costs.  Of all my sales, I can honestly state that I have never charged more than $3.00 for Handling Fees with the exception of the few times when a large quantity of packing was needed, -- and I always confered with the bidders before the items were packed and shipped.  All items will definitely be received by you in a timely manner, packed properly, guaranteed safe and INSURED, up to $100.00.    PLEASE -- INQUIRE about the shipping charges and realize that by bidding you are agreeing that the fee is appropriate for the size, fragility and quality of the item.  I would hope for the highest rating possible on both of the shipping evaluations.  As a Proud eBayer, I guarantee my items to be as described, and I will communicate with the buyer the day of sale and when payment is received.  Please be generous with your ratings, as I hope to keep my hobby strong & then I will be able to continue to provide RARE, UNIQUE, & QUALITY ITEMS to my great customers.

If you decide within twenty-four hours of receiving it, that the item was misrepresented, and you aren't happy with it, then contact me immediately.  Then ship it back to me within 3 days of receiving it, and when I am in possession of the item in the crisp new condition that I sent it in (without any marks, scratches, rips, tears etc.), then I will refund the bid price to you immediately.  If you do return it, please ensure that it is wrapped well and securely, preferrably in the material in which it was shipped to you.
