Bugari 288 Xoana Accordion

Dear Accordion Friends,

I am pleased to present a very special accordion, the Bugari 288 Xoana model. The Xoana is the latest edition to Bugari's custom made accordions collection. This is a top of the line Special Edition instrument with wood finish, custom-made bellows with transitioning colors silk-lined interior folds, anodized bellows corners, 4/5 sets of hand-made BINCI reeds, and a double tone chamber made of solid mahogany. This instrument was a special order for the North-East USA Bugari dealer.

The accordion is tuned to 440 Hz with the out-of-chamber clarinet (M2) reeds tuned sharp for musette effect in the Violin, Musette, Accordion, and Master switches. You still have concert tuned bassoon, bandonion, clarinet, oboe, organ, and harmonium switches. The accordion is ergonomically optimized and weighs only 26 lb with the straps and bellows protector. It is air efficient and plays without effort. The tone cold be soft and gentle but also loud and far-projecting depending on the bellows pressure..

Here is a summary of the features:
