"In 1948 the Michael-Hull team dissolved. Stanley Michael went on to the Sano amplifier company, known for its accordion amps, where he designed a line of amps very much like the Michael-Hull model. Everett Hull was left with the company, the Ampeg patent, $7,500 in liabilities, and $750 in working capital...

"After Stanley Michael and Everett Hull parted ways in 1948, Michael kept himself busy in the amplifier electronics field -- and by 1952 he helped develop the "Sano Accordion Pickup and Matched Amplifier," distributed soley by the Major Music Company of Irvington, New Jersey. For Sano he continued using designs, electronic and cosmetic, similar to those he had originated for the Michael-Hull company. According to the advertisement in Musical Merchandise Magazine for June 1952, the "matched " pickup and amp were "developed by accordion men -- for accordion men." Later iun the '50s, Sano brought out a variety of amplifiers."

I got the book abaout the time it came out. It's an interesting story and well written. I own a '66 Reverberocket 2 and a '68 Gemini 12.

There are a couple paragraphs on Sano amps in the Hopkins & Moore Ampeg book. Shall I transcribe them for you?

So tulips are doing $200 these days? Unbelievable. I don't care how good people think the pickups are...they are basically unplayble hunks of plywood that sound like crap. Or should that be 'killer slide axes' ;)

Please do post pics of the Sano- and amp...It's a new brand on me. Probably didn't get imported over here.

Well, since I posted last, the guitar has been completely stripped down to just a body and neck. I've just finished giving it a thorough scrub-down. Tomorrow I'll dress the frets, cut a new nut, and address the electronics (probably replace the pots and insert, but the switch is kinda wacky, with resistors and all kinds of junk on there).

Also... on a whim, just fired up the little combo, looks like it works!! (So does the tremolo!!)

Its in surprisingly good shape! Some scuff on the tail, nothing too heavy-duty... dirty as hell... nothing a little sweat and Dr Duck's won't take care of... needs a new nut, undoubtedly needs new electronics... the tone pot swivels 360, insert is somewhere up inside... if its even still there... tuners looks like they're in good shape and all the ferrules are there...

...and I don't know HOW I missed this in the auction... but... BOUND F-Holes!!!! Oh, lord, I am in LOVE!!!

AAAAAAND the fella threw in the Sano tube amp he originally purchased with this guitar!!!... with the original travel cover and a bunch of "case candy"!!!

What a score!!!

(If you couldn't tell, the gear nerds and I had a few beers to celebrate the rescue, so sorry if I'm rambling... hahaha... photos tomorrow!!!)
