Noblest White Pearl
I have an Accordion. But I dont know what it worth and would like to know. ?
Its a Noble. It looks aluminum It also has some almost pearl white where it isn’t aluminum looking it has pearl white and black keys. On the second half of the Accordion it says “A Noble Product Worlds Finest” On the top of the middle part it has a black diamond. It also has straps, they are leather black and brown. Also the accordion is in very good condition. Also on the front it has a noble stamp that says “Noble” “Worlds Finest”. On the bottom it says made in Italy. I would really like to know what it is worth. And older lady gave it to me and I just want to know what I might have. Thank you for your help in advance. If you need pictures for help I am sure I could email some to you.
Noble made accordions of different grades. Sometimes the same model will have greatly varied values as determined by the parts used in it and their condition. I copied this from an older prior post. Some of it doesn’t apply in your case but its still good info and explains why it is so difficult to give a value on an accordion that you can’t see – both inside and outside. If you really want to find the true value, you will have to take it to an actual accordion repair person – a professional who knows the time, cost and extent of restoration required. Also, you should expect to pay an evaluation/estimate fee for this service.
It takes time to disassemble and evaluate the instrument and no one (or hardly anyone) ever works for free anymore. Also the person doing the evaluation takes a chance on damaging something when he opens the box – the gaskets deterorate, glue comes apart, pieces fall out and the customer doesn’t believe that the damage was already there or incidental to opening it up.
…………………………………..
Some things that would need to be known in order to value it:
The actual manufacturer
Kind of accordion – Piano, Chromatic, 1 row, 2 row, 3 Row, Cajun, Bayan, Bass, Anglo, Concertina, etc.
Number of Keys Bass and Treble
Size of treble keyboard 17 1/2 inch, 19 inch etc.
Tuning – musette, dry, in tune or not.
State of the leather valves – flexible and soft, hard, curled, etc.
Wax condition – Reeds are usually held in place by a mixture of Bees Wax and Rosen although some are nailed or screwed in – accordions stored in either cold or hot temperatures or in very dry areas usually have wax that has crystallized, melted, or dried up and will need to be replaced. Condition of surface, warping, cracking, rot, etc.
Type of reeds (hand made, hand finished, factory) and condition (no rust or corrosion)
Condition of the felts under the keys
Number of reed banks – treble and bass
Shifts/registers on each side
Bellows condition – is it lined, how many folds, condition of glue and corner leathers, gaskets
Any musty odors or bugs inside – Don’t laugh – mealy bugs and moth larva cause havoc in an accordion
Condition of the bass machine – rust etc.
Condition of straps
Case usually really doesn’t matter unless its really unusual
Appearance – does it look good.
Playability – ease of use, balance, key travel and pressure required, etc.
Accordions generally have little value as antiques unless there is something special about them – like it was used by a very famous accordionist and it is documented. Or if it is the first of its kind or is really old or is signed by a famous maker
Part of the reason for this is the cost of restoration. If an
accordion has set for 15 or more years without being played, it almost always needs cleaning and tuning and some restoration. For a full size accordion this costs upwards of $400. Perhaps even more than $2,000 for a serious and complete restoration.
So what happens is that an accordion that cost $300 new in 1940 may require $700 in repairs in order to get it working properly and then will have a resale value of only $400. Just not practical… Lots of these 40′s and 50′s vintage boxes go on sale on ebay and end up selling for $40 – $50. Basically they end up as parts sources or something to play on outside gigs if it looks like rain….A few old accordions are very well made with excellent reeds and potentially could be worth more that a new one if completely restored but only your repair person knows for sure. I have seen a few restorations in the neighborhood of $1500 that resulted in a like new box that was better than 99% of the new accordions out there that cost three or four times as much. The problem is to find a technician that can do that quality of work.
…………………………………..
Hope the above info helps. Also it explains why such a simple question like “how much is this accordion worth?” can’t be answered easily. It is not that no one wants to help, it is that the answer is very complicated and an answer like “Anywhere from $50 to $5000″ doesn’t
satisfy the question. This question comes up very often on this and other accordion forums and unfortunately the answer is very rarely what the person asking the question wants to hear. Also unfortunate is that there just are not that many knowledgeable places, at least in the US, where you can take an accordion for evaluation. The average
music store/instrument repair place doesn’t have a clue. Sometimes if you’re lucky, the local accordion club will have a member or two that can help. Do a search for Ike’s Boxpital – he has a web site that is quite informative, also search the archives of the Accordion Freedom Forum on Yahoo Groups and look up Hans Palms web site for more good info.
Good luck with your search!

The Noblest Animate Motion $288 The body of theory on speech production and speech disorder developed prior to Descartes has been so neglected by historians that its very existence is practically unknown today. Yet it provides a framework for understanding the speech process which is not only comprehensive and coherent, but of great relevance to current debates on issues of language performance and applied linguistics. Current theoretical difficulties stem largely from initial errors of Descartes; whereas earlier theoretical formulations, while outlining a bio-mechanics of speech, retain the central role of the human agent. The discussions explicated in this book come mainly from the natural-philosophic and medical literature of Greco-Roman Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance and early 17th century. This uncharted territory is mapped by tracing its textual history and diffusion as well as explaining the theory on its own terms but in clear and comprehensible language. Interdisciplinary in perspective, the book encompasses topics of interest not only to the language sciences, but also to the biosciences, medicine, philosophy of human movement, psychology and behavioral sciences, neurosciences, speech pathology, experimental phonetics, speech and rhetoric, and the history of science in general. |
