Siwa & Figli Schumann
This is the latest Siwa & Figli accordion model, designed for strolling musicians who like a more compact and light weight instrument that still features full size keys and hand-made reeds.

These accordions have unique bass section with 102 buttons. You can think of the standard 96-bass setup with the added D# row on top.

Cobra Musette Elegant
This is a spectacular and unique accordion on the market. It is a super compact version of the Cobra Grande Musette. It is amazing how a clever design and expert craftsmanship can result in retaining the tonal character and projection of the full size instrument in a compact accordion that weight less than 25 lb. Not only is the weight significantly reduced but the overall size of the body is smaller and easier to handle for many hours of strolling. The instrument features the same high quality hand-made reeds used in all Siwa & Figli accordions. The body and tone chamber are made of solid aged mahogany. All reed valves are made of genuine leather. The air flow is calculated so that one would use the same bellows technique and phrasing as with a full size cassotto accordion. This feature sets Siwa & Figli apart from all other compact accordions in the market.
This particular instrument has an asymmetric musette tuning. This way you have three different types of musette on the same accordion - a semi-dry or very mild swing sound, a fast tremolo like Italian musette, and a full rich 3-reed musette suitable for German and French music.
- Excellent hand made reeds - 4/5 LMM-M+
- Double tone chamber (LM)
- Asymmetric Musette tuning
- The 11 different treble switches allow for a variety of musette effects as well as concert tuned chambered bassoon, bandoneon, and clarinet sounds

The third set of clarinet reeds can be activated by a chin switch and closed with the last treble switch. The palm master action is decoupled from the musette tuned reeds.
