Yes, most unusual. Several makers seem to produce 4-voice LMMM 72-bass
instruments, I guess this is primarily for young (and not-so-young!)
folk players wanting a 3-voice musette sound for Scottish music. 
My mother has a Marsioli 72-bass like this which came from Emilio 
Allodi's shop in Lewisham. 

I'm sure Emilio has the skills to build you a 3-voice LMH 72-bass,
but what it would cost I don't know.

What about Sonatina? They make a cassotto model, which is fiercly
expensive but looks fabulous.
