SEM CIAO Reedless MIDI Accordion

This accordion was built by Scandalli after they acquired the SEM company. This is a full size reedless accordion with excellent mechanics throughout. It weighs only about 17 lb. The CIAO MIDI controller is very intuitive. You can access all electronic functions from the grill. The grill controller has a very elegant design. All you need to carry in addition to the accordion is a small power supply that comes in its own soft case and has a sound card with 400 sounds. You will not need a separate MIDI module to sound like a full orchestra. However, it is possible to combine the CIAO sounds with an external MIDI arranger (Solton, Ketron, Orla, Roland,MIDI keyboards, computers etc.) using the MIDI THROUGH port on the power supply. This way you combine sounds from the internal sound cards and the external modules. The accordion can be played with head phones. All cables are included. The entire setup is very good condition and ready to use for professional studio work or personal pleasure. Below is a summary of the features:
