This
is the top of the line Beltuna accordion, fully loaded with features
like hand made reeds, tone chamber, amplisound chamber, and
Sennheiser microphones. This instrument will offer you a variety of sounds
with 5 sets of treble reeds and 5 sets of bass reeds. The reed
configuration is LMMMH. You have LMH with concert tuning and 2
additional sets of clarinet reeds (M2 and M3) with musette tuning
allowing for concert (dry) sounds, as well as a rich selection
of musette sounds when adding M2 and M3.

- Palm Master switch (LMMMH) - the full rich Alpine Accordion sound
- Since the Palm master doesn't repeat above the keyboard you have
16 different treble sounds. The Amplisoun effect almost doubles the
tonal variety. The amplisound affects all but 2 of the treble
switches (M2M3 and M2M3H). This results in 30 different treble
sounds with the Amplison ON (adds additional reverb effect to the
tone) of OFF (the classic tone chamber sound). Please, listen to the
sound demo to hear the effect.
- The slide above the treble switches activates the Amplisound
chamber - a total of 30
distinct treble tonal colors
- 5 sets of bass reeds with low G
configuration and Tone Chamber for deep powerful sound
- 120 pearl bass buttons, each one is surrounded by felt for very
smooth and silent action
- 7 bass switches
- Deep-fold red bellows with black tape - 18 folds for lots of
volume - excellent compression
- Backpad for bellows protection
- Excellent luxury straps (4" wide padded area) with back-straps
