Accordion Gallery

Guy Klucevsek is a fabulous accordionist, composer, and a very nice person to know!

Guy has been a customer and friend for many years. I have been honored to service his fine accordions. It is a great pleasure to tell the Accordion World that now Guy has added a Siwa & Figli Super Quattro Artist model to his fine collection.

The Siwa & Figli Schumann model was designed in collaboration with Ron Oswanski, a highly respected musician and a long-time Accordion Gallery friend.

"The Siwa Schumann custom made for me with the help of Guenadiy and the Accordion Gallery captures everything I was looking for in a musette instrument. The accordion is custom designed from the ground up with a reed configuration of MMMM. ... The custom musette tuning was exactly as I asked... The Schumann, on top of it being a power house instrument, has the bonus of wireless midi built in. The setup allows me to not only run built in sounds from the internal sound card, but gives me the ability to WIRELESSLY run Mainstage at virtually no latency. With a series of volume pedals, I'm able to mix my acoustic accordion with not only multiple bass setups, but combine those options with various synths all in real time and again,... all wirelessly!

Thank you Siwa and Guenadiy!!
Ron."

"The Siwa and Figli Champion is exactly what I was looking for combining full size keys, and professional tone in a lighter weight instrument. ... The dynamic range of this instrument is remarkable."

We would like to welcome Dallas Vietty to the Siwa & Figli Featured Artists Club. It is a pleasure and honor to have another very talented young artist endorse our brand. Dallas specializes in Parisian swing-waltz style of Musette and Gypsy Jazz. He performs with a Super Cobra Elegant accordion.

"I am thrilled with my new Siwa & Figli Super Quattro Compact Mussette accordion! Our collaboration on the reed configuration and body size/weight was right on the money. This accordion has so much personality in sound as well as great looks! The 13 treble registers offer wonderful combinations from dry through mild musette and even wonderfully wet musette. Yet the voices are never harsh. I am most amazed at how each reed set blends with the others."

David Gritt, NC

"I am still thrilled with my Siwa, and was happy to spend some time with fellow Siwa owners Sergiu and Sergei last month at a Gypsy Jazz workshop in Massachusetts."
