Has anyone heard of this kind of accordion? I just picked one up at the House of Musical Traditions, and I haven't been able to get any information about the make doing a Google search. It's got a lovely sound, but I've never heard of this kind of accordion before...

"Mastercraft Midget - Ivory pearl, swirly metal grille design, 3/4 reeds LMM, lovely light musette tuning, 5/2 registers, 16 lbs, 15" keyboard, straps & case. 120 basses but only 39 trebles instead of 120, for a more compact keyboard without having the keys too narrow. The tuning could use a touch up if you are a professional, but will be fine for amateur use. This very rare and desirable model is a very light and compact 3 reed instrument suitable for someone with small hands looking for a good quality accordion without sacrificing sound and features. People search for these for years without finding one in this good shape. Well maintained & in exc. condition."
