Siwa
& Figli VIVO "Walnut" Reedless MIDI Accordion
with Built-in Sound Card, Wireless Option, and USB interface
The Siwa & Figli VIVO reedless
accordion is a beautiful full-size instrument that weighs 17 lb and
features state of the art MIDI system with internal sound card. In
addition, you can connect an external (optional) MIDI module (Solton,
Ketron, Orla, Roland,MIDI keyboards, computers etc.). This way you
combine sounds from the internal sound cards and the external modules.
The accordion can be played with head phones. Last but not least this
instrument can be played wireless. The wireless transmitter is built
inside the accordion and is powered by Li-Ion battery (similar to your
phone) with long life. The receiver is mounted inside the power
supply. This way there are no additional belt packs or wires to think
of. Below is a summary of the features:
