Siwa
& Figli released a limited edition "Exclusive" series accordions
to commemorate the company's 35-th anniversary. Only 10 accordions
will be made with these specifications. What makes this model stand
out is the combination of features from the most popular Super
Quattro Artist and Super Cobra models. The Super Quattro is the full
size double tone chamber model with 19.25 " (49 cm) long keyboard.
The Super Cobra is the compact version of the same instrument with
18.5" (47 cm) keyboard length and a compact body design. The
"Exclusive" model combines the compact body of the Super Cobra
with the full size 19.25" keyboard of the Super Quattro. If is
a very comfortable accordion to play. The weight reduction on the
bass side is truly welcome and desirable for long gigs.
Selecting
a Siwa accordion you partner with a team of musicians, craftsmen,
and engineers with knowledge of the time-tested accordion building
practices and access to state of the art
technology, a team enriched with experience of restoring more
than 1000 accordions and able to combine the best features from all
of them, a team with a vast network of accordionists constantly
providing their feedback. You become part of a Community.
The
Siwa & Figli tone chamber accordions will remind you of the
finesse and richness of the 1960's Super VI treble sound, enhanced
with the 1980's Guerrini President deep and strong bass sound. Yet,
they have a character of their own. The Exclusive model has been
ergonomically optimized and is about 2.5 lb lighter than the Guerrini
with the center of gravity brought closer to the performer's body. The
mechanical and acoustic balance is impressive. The overall efficiency
is extraordinary. You can enjoy a vast dynamic range and play from
very soft to very loud and the instrument will respond instantly to
your creative artistic demands. You have to experience the
accordion and be aware of how little effort it needs to reward you
with its harmonic richness and explosive response.
