Dear Accordion Friends,

There are many nice instruments that can keep us satisfied and inspired. However, once you come across an exceptional quality accordion you know it from the first chord you play! We all deserve to find our ultimate accordion, the accordion we will never part with. Fortunately, we have different preferences and this makes the accordion world as exciting and colorful it is. I have found MY sacred accordion and I know how great it feels to be able to hear that dream sound each time you play. I am sure someone will soon feel the same way about the accordion I am presenting to you now.

The merger of Scandalli and Settimio Soprani in the early 1950s resulted in the formation of FARFISA, the company that dominated the electronic accordions market till the 1990s when it was acquired by Menghini (now Suoni). The instrument I am presenting was made in 1995 and was one of the last accordions designed and manufactured by Farfisa.  It combines the impressive acoustic features of the Super VI model with an excellent electronics package - MIDI with built-in orchestral sounds and rhythms and microphones for amplifying the acoustic instrument. In the 1990s Farfisa was the leading Italian company for accordion electronics. Today none of the Italian MIDI manufacturers offers built-in rhythms with their MIDI istallation.

Here is a summary of the features of the acoustic accordion. Please, refer to the pictures for more details.
