Guerrini Superior 2 Accordion

Guerrini Superior 2 Model
One of the BEST Acoustic Accordions

Dear Accordion Friends,

There are many nice instruments that can keep us satisfied and inspired. However, once you come across an exceptional quality accordion you know it from the first chord you play! We all deserve to find our ultimate accordion, the accordion we will never part with. Fortunately, we have different preferences and this makes the accordion world as exciting and colorful it is. I know how great it feels to be able to hear that dream sound each time you play. I am sure someone will soon feel the same way about the accordion I am presenting to you now.

This Guerrini Superior 2 accordion was built in Italy in the 1990's. The instrument was serviced at the Accordion Gallery in 2022. It is clean, well voiced and tuned and has excellent compression and efficiency. The rich and robust Guerrini tone is truly memorable and once you've experienced it you remain attracted to it.

Let's take a look inside the accordion...

The MIDI was factory installed. This is one of the earliest Master MIDI designs, probably from the 1990s. It uses silver coil springs as contacts. I received the accordion without the power supply and the designated module. I did find a power supply that works with the accordion. However, I still can't find the thin interface module that works with this grill controller. I do know electronics inside the accordion is intact and this is the reason I kept it undisturbed. It is not included in the price of the instrument and does not affect its acoustic performance.

The accordion body is made from solid aged maple. Please, listen to the sound samples with headphones to appreciate the tonal richness of the instrument. Placing some of the best reeds in this resonant environment rewards the performer and the audience with a memorable experience.
