I purchased this in germany about 3 yrs ago for 100 marks (50 dollars) I found it interesting but have yet to find out anything about it.. I have pictures but can't seem to post them .. the label inside reads
GRANDE FABBRICA
# # #di
STRUMENTI ARMONICA
Domenica Ventazola

# # #Napoli

Anyone that can tell me anything about this I would greatly appreaciate it... Thank you

I realizewd that you posted in a few places about this instrument, so i quoted your label above.

I'm not familiar with Domenica Ventazola, but this looks consistent with the late 19th-c. style popularized by de Meglio and Ceccherini, especially the former. Is the clasp "vented;" i.e. are there extra tone ports/holes around the side?

I also am not familiar with this maker but I have seen Ceccherinis and Meglios with a similar pickguard that goes around the soundhole.
