I got an accordion!
It's a Scandalli piano-accordion from the 40s, fullsize, with two
stops. I'm very happy with it. I had been playing the accordion
Davy lent to Rosie during winter break, and it made me remember how
much i used to play the piano. So I decided to get one. I bought
it on eBay, which was pretty uneventful, except that it arrived on
the 26th, but I never got the package slip, so it languished in the
mailroom until the 2nd. When I first opened it, it looked like it
was in pretty bad condition, because almost half the bass keys were
stuck on. I opened it up (which was fun; it's from the 40s and it
has a really interesting mix factory made metalwork (to put on the right
notes for the chords) and careful woodwork) and there were five or
six keys that were slightly out of position so they were stuck under
the housing. Freeing them freed their partners, and they all came
out. There are a two keys that need oiling but I'll get to them.
