Super Quattro Compact with "Hey-di" MIDI Siwa & Figli has released a new Hey-di MIDI system, developed in collaboration with Logic Systems. The new controller has extremely slim design and combines elegant appearance with powerful features.
Hey-di MIDI Controller
The internal sound card offers hundreds of accordion and orchestral sounds and effects allowing the flexibility to perform without external MIDI module. Right from the grill you can adjust volume, bellows dynamics, change octave for particular section or transpose the entire instrument, select different instrument sounds in real time etc. The 2 independent treble sections allow for simultaneous selection of accordion and orchestral sounds. The internal memory consists of a ROM part with pre-programmed orchestral sounds (5 for bass section, 5 for chords section, and 2x11 for the 2 treble sections) and Flash component where you can store your favorite presets (6 for bass, 6 for chords, and 2x12 for the 2 treble sections). In addition, there are 12 user banks (registrations) to store your favorite system parameters. Either use the factory programs or create your own and recall them in real time.
One can access the internal sound card while controlling an optional external MIDI arranger. The system can be used with headphones for private practice.
Be our guest at the Accordion Gallery showroom and experience the versatility of the new Super Quattro Compact accordion featuring Hey-di MIDI and built-in amplification.

Siwa & Figli and the Accordion Gallery are introducing a special Accordion Gallery Line of instruments. Each accordion will be absolutely unique and will be properly designated. The accordion body including the grill and the side bass cover is carved from rare selection of naturally aged (40+ years) woods. The body is varnished in the tradition of violin making and not covered in Polyurethane. The results are amazing - enhanced natural wood grain and improved sound projection. We are proud to present here the first masterpiece.

Titano Virtuoso Converter Accordion for $15!We all know how important
it is to inspire young people to learn and play the accordion.
Unfortunately, there are only a few accordion schools left in our
country. I have always admired teachers and educators who devote time
to share their talent and art with others. My older son took lessons
with Stanley Darrow and Joanna Arnold at the Acme Accordion School in
Westmont, NJ and I've had the opportunity to see them both work with
many kids and adults with a common desire to play the accordion.
It is a pleasure to present a clever idea on behalf of my friends Joanna Arnold and Lenny Feldmann. They are offering an opportunity to own a concert Titano Virtuoso Converter accordion for as little as $15. Let's all help the noble mission of the Acme accordion school and show a support while trying our luck at this unique and best-odds lottery:
