The
Super Quattro Artist is the top of the line and most
demanded Siwa & Figli concert accordion. The Super Quattro was
inspired by some legendary accordions like the 1960's Scandalli
Super VI and the 1980's Guerrini President as well as 60 years of
combined experience of Ivan Stanojlovic at Siwa & Figli and
Guenadiy Lazarov at Accordion Gallery. Selecting a Siwa accordion
you partner with a team of musicians, craftsmen, and engineers
with knowledge of the time-tested accordion building practices
and access
to state of the art technology, a team enriched with
experience of restoring more than 1000 accordions and able to
combine the best features from all of them, a team with a vast
network of accordionists constantly providing their feedback. You
become part of a Community.
Many accordionists have joined our Siwa & Figli Community as
customers, featured artists, friends. We invite you to try the Super
Quattro and experience its tonal quality and character. It will
remind you of the finesse and richness of the 1960's Super VI treble
sound, enhanced with the 1980's Guerrini President deep and strong
bass sound. Yet, the Super Quattro has a character of its own. It
has been ergonomically optimized and is about 1.5 lb lighter than
the Guerrini with the center of gravity brought closer to the
performer's body. The mechanical and acoustic balance is impressive.
The overall efficiency is extraordinary. You can enjoy a vast
dynamic range and play from very soft to very loud and the
instrument will respond instantly to your creative artistic
demands. You have to experience the accordion and be aware of
how little effort it needs to reward you with its harmonic richness
and explosive response.
The Explosion version of the Super Quattro Artist line
features solid walnut keyboard with the geometry and feel of the
1990s Super VI, proprietary double-riveted reeds, special reed
blocks design, and improved body ergonomics. For a detailed
technical explanation read my comments in the pictures section.
Here
is a summary of the features.
- Made
in Castelfidardo, Italy
- The best hand made double-riveted
reeds available - you will not believe this is a new accordion.
You don't have to "fight" it to get the sound out. Each reed
responds instantaneously in each reed combination with uniform
intensity on opening and closing of the bellows. The sound
is clear and rich. The accordion is voiced and tuned very
precisely and you will be amazed to experience the subtle
overtones excited in the treble section as you play the bass and
vice versa. These Siwa reeds combine the best features from Binci,
Sabbatini, and Guidobaldi reeds.
