The
Super Quattro Artist
is the top of the line and best-selling Siwa & Figli concert
accordion. The Super Quattro Artist was inspired by some legendary
accordions like the 1960's Scandalli Super VI and the 1980's
Guerrini
President as well as 60 years of combined experience of Ivan
Stanojlovic at Siwa & Figli and Guenadiy Lazarov at Accordion
Gallery. 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.
Many accordionists have
joined our Siwa & Figli Community as customers, featured
artists,
friends. We invite you to try the Super Quattro and experience its
tonal quality and character. It 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, the Super
Quattro
has a character of its own. It has been ergonomically optimized and
is
about 1.5 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.

Siwa
& Figli's Hey-di MIDI
system was developed in collaboration with Logic Systems. The grill
controller has extremely slim design and combines elegant appearance
with powerful features. The internal sound card offers more than 800
accordion and orchestral sounds and effects allowing the
flexibility
to perform without external MIDI module. Right from the grill you can
adjust volume, bellows dynamics, change octave for particular section
or transpose the entire instrument, select different instrument sounds
in real time etc. The 2 independent treble sections allow for
simultaneous selection of accordion and orchestral sounds. The
internal
memory consists of a ROM part with factory programmed orchestral
sounds (5
for bass section, 5 for chords section, and 2x11 for the 2 treble
sections) and Flash component where you can store your favorite
presets
(6 for bass, 6 for chords, and 2x12 for the 2 treble sections). In
addition, there are 12 user banks (registrations) to store your
favorite system parameters. Either use the factory programs or create
your own and recall them in real time. In summary, you can store and
instantly recall from the grill panel 66 treble sounds, 11 bass
sounds, and 11 chord sounds as selected from the 800+ available in the
built-in sound library. One
can access the internal sound card while controlling an optional
external MIDI arranger. The system can be used with headphones for
private practice.
The
accordion can be played without additional MIDI modules using the
hundreds of built-in sounds and effects. However, if the performer
desires to use external MIDI module it is possible to use it in
addition to the internal sound card. Any MIDI module will work with
this state-of-the-art system. The following (optional)
