It does bear a striking resemblance to the <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Left-Side-In-Box.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Klingenthaler Toy Sax<\/a> made by <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/vintage-saxes\/sax-shaped-things\/plastic\/klingenthaler-toy-sax\">VEB Aschberg Musikspielwaren in Klingenthal<\/a>. However, this real instrument is not nearly in as nice a condition as the toy version.<\/p>\n<p>The seller stated that this East German blow accordion was discovered during the dissolution of a household, and that the instrument was 40cm long. Interestingly enough, that is 6cm longer than the Klingenthaler Toy Sax noted above.<\/p>\n<p>In case anyone is interested, yes this East German blow accordion did indeed sell\u2014but not for a lot. It fetched \u20ac11.61 on eBay. Personally, I wouldn&#8217;t have even paid that, unless I had a blow accordion that was in otherwise good shape, but sans mouthpiece.
