A very rare and exceptionally well-preserved example of a Prince melodeon. Everything is original, and everything is there. It has the original bellows which still hold air after 150+ years. Has passed owners 4 times in the past 2 years and little is known about its provenance. Plays very nicely and has two sets of reeds, an 8' and 4' rank, along with all the other mechanical additions. Beater-type tremolo. Case has original shellac and is in generally good condition, with rough patches here and there. Two exhausters and a knee swell. Pitch is A457.
