Mario Giovanni Zandomeneghi, artistically known as Mario Zan, was born on October 8, 1920, in Italy. Composer. Instrumentalist. Born in Italy, he came to Brazil with his parents at age four, going to live in Santa Adélia, SP. When he was 6 years old, he convinced his father to buy an accordion. He studied accordion with Ángelo Reale and musical theory with the master Tripicchioni. Considered one of the greatest accordionists in Brazil, he was a friend of Luiz Gonzaga, who declared that Mario Zan was the true "king of the accordion". He died at the age of 86 at the Hospital dos Sorocabanos, in Sâo Paulo, due to complications resulting from a treatment of pulmonary problems.

GRADING:
All records are visually graded; we strive for accurate and honest grading in all instances, but we also believe that grading is quite subjective with 78's.
If you need further details on any particular item, please write us and we'll get back to you with as much additional details as possible.
Condition is displayed for both sides independently (that's why you'll actually find two condition grades for each record: side "A" and side "B", i/e: VG/GD.
Particular flaws such as needle runs or skips, heat or moisture damage, etc., will be added.
- NEAR MINT (NM) As close as new as a vintage item could be.
- EXCELLENT (EX) Almost no trace of groove wear, with just minor surface rubs or marks (mostly from handling).
- VERY GOOD (VG) A well cared record, which shows visible signs of use, such as surface marks and light groove wear.
- GOOD (GD) A well worn record, showing moderate groove wear, such as light greying (might lightly disrupt quiet playing) or surface marks and rubs that might cause minor problems with playing, such as ticks, but with no bumps or skips.
- FAIR (FR) A rather heavily worn record, which is still playable but usually not enjoyable. If a record in this condition is offered will be mostly due to rarity and collector's desirability. It will probably fill a gap in your collection until you find a better copy (that is, if you ever do!).
