RARE ! - Perhaps the ONLY Copy in the world that is for sale - RARE ! If you prove discovery of another of these sets for sale I will reward you....with FREE shipping if you buy this copy and I will post a persoanlized Thank You Letter in my package with a signed drawing of an accordion if you remind me. The drawing may go up in value, or it may be considered not commercial enough for the ruling curators.
There has been a recent resurge of interest in the music of Pietro Deiro. In 1991 and 1992, composer/accordionist  and his wife, dancer/choreographer/director Micki Goodman presented one of their major artistic collaborations: Opera Fisarmonica, a realization of the life and works of Pietro Deiro in extended opera form. It probably won't be long before pop musicians start stealing his compositions and get selected for Grammy & Academy Awards for doing so - it happens.  
The RARE sounds in this 3-Vinyl SET have been composed EXCLUSIVELY for the accordion by Pietro Deiro himself but played by 2 different artists of masterful skill to portray the work with realism and feeling.
You will be happy to know that I post MULTIPLE Photos (sometimes the max number) to offer forthright representation of ACTUAL item, and with ZOOM features, thus as seen as is, which is pretty nice. I also package item safely and I ship ASAP, provided my cherished customer pays asap. You will also sometimes receive a hand-written thank you note (if i remember), because I appreciate you and couldn’t survive without you. Thank you.

The best that I can do is offer the maximum number of photos in sharp focus complete with zoom of the ACTUAL item for sale. This speaks volumes about the condition and is my best description. Beware of sellers that post 1 or 2 photos only. This is a red flag and suggests 2 things: #1) the seller is trying to hide the real condition of the item by limiting photographic details. They also will further camouflage their item’s condition by not offering zoom features. #2) Many sellers limit their photos because they are not only trying to camouflage their item’s condition, but because they are Lazy. A lazy seller won’t go the extra mile in other aspects of his sale, exhibited in shoddy packaging and they will drag their feet in shipping item out. Just as deceitful and lazy are the many sellers that provide only STOCK photos (not of actual item you will receive) tricking the bidder in thinking they are getting the impressive item pictured in the stock photo. 

Pietro Deiro (1888 – 1950) was one of the most influential  of the first half of the 20th century.

Born on August 28, 1888 in Salto Canavese, Italy, the younger brother of , he emigrated to the United States as a steerage passenger on the S/S La Savoie in 1907 and went to live with his Uncle Frederico and work in the coal mines of Cle Elum, Washington.

Pietro began playing  professionally in a tavern in Seattle in 1908. Within a few short months, his brother Guido (already an accomplished piano-accordionist in Europe) arrived in , and taught his brother how to play the . Both brothers became minor celebrities on the  circuit; Guido in 1910 and Pietro at least by 1912.

Pietro recorded dozens of records for the . After the demise of vaudeville during the , he opened a successful accordion studio in , New York City and established an accordion music publishing company: Accordion Music Publishing Company (AMPCO), later simply known as Pietro Deiro Publications.

He was the first president of the  (1938) and promoted himself as "The Daddy of the Accordion," much to his brother Guido's chagrin. Pietro died in 1954.
