This
is a rare opportunity to present one of Bugari's concert
converter-bass instruments. This is a new accordion made in 2018.
The accordion was custom-ordered by the North-East US dealer without
the chin switches. Here is a link to the specs from the Bugari web
site:
Bugari catalog page for the 289/ARS/C4 model
The
accordion features extended keyboard range E-C, double tone chamber,
hand-made Cagnoni reeds, and a 120 bass chromatic converter bass
machine. The bass section can play either preset chords (Stradella
system) or single notes (C-system chromatic converter). This way the
performer can play music originally written for piano or organ.
