Excelsior Digitizer MIDI Amplified Accordion

This professional Excelsior accordion was made in Italy and is loaded with features - 4/5 sets of reeds, concert and musette sounds, MIDI, and amplification. The original Digitizer model was built with solid state electronics like the Bell Duovox and the latest Cordovox models. The original electronics has been removed making the accordion much lighter. Now it has modern MIDI that is compatible with all MIDI modules and arrangers. The microphones work with separate volume adjustment for bass and treble. This is a great professional quality, versatile accordion that is priced right for anyone who would like to explore the world of MIDI and doesn't want to spend many thousands of dollar.

The new owner will enjoy a very nice and clean instrument with smooth mechanics, excellent compression, and variety of concert and musette sounds. The MIDI can be used with any arranger or keyboard with MIDI input. You can play the accordion without any connections, just as a regular acoustic instrument, or combining its sounds with any orchestral sounds and rhythms a MIDI arranger can offer.

Several keys have been replaced and have a different finish.

The white button (upper left side in the above picture) is On/Off switch for the amplification. The potentiometer next to it is a combined type with the lower (larger diameter) part controlling bass and the outer knob controlling treble volume.

Next to the On/Off switch for the microphones you can see the MIDI connector (right side of the above picture).

The rocker switches work is combinations. For example, if you want the bassoon switch you press the L switch. If you want the organ switch, you press down the L and H switches. To select musette you will press LMM+ etc. Toddling a switch down enables the corresponding reed set and toggling it up closes the air flow to the corresponding reed set.

A connection diagram will be provided with the accordion. It is straightforward. The small power supply is connected to a power outlet, to the accordion MIDI connector, and to a MIDI module (many available in stock). The audio cable connect the 1/4" jack at the bottom of the grill to an amplifier.
