Vintage WEM Song Bird Dedicated Accordion Amp 4 Channels Built In Reverb

Tavistock, PL19***, UNITED KINGDOM

£250

So here's an oddity. This is a WEM Songbird dedicated Accordion Combo Amp.
It's a full range map with 4 input channels and a built in spring reverb unit

This is a very heavy amp so you'll need to arrange collection or come and pick it up yourself
