Compact Plus

With its 96 basses and a tonal richness that exceeds the standards of its category, the Compact Plus truly lives up to its name. Developed in response to requests from renowned artists such as Richard Galliano, it features a cassotto housing both a Bassoon (L 16′) and a Flute reed (M 8′).

Its unique character comes from its 3-voice “American” tuning and the versatility of its four Celeste registers, beautifully enhanced by the resonance of the Flute reeds. Jazz musicians, accompanists, and lovers of French chanson and Parisian-style variety music will find an ideal musical partner in this instrument.

Today, it stands as the benchmark among Cavagnolo tone chamber accordions, embodying the French accordion sound at its very finest.

Supplied with its carrying case, shoulder straps, and warranty certificate.

The Compact Plus is the result of the evolution of our cassotto chamber accordions and represents the latest achievement in our ongoing pursuit of tonal excellence. Drawing on a long lineage of innovation, it has become a favourite among some of today’s most respected accordionists, particularly in accompaniment settings.

Artists such as Aurélien Noël, Frédéric Langlais, João Frade, and Laurent Derache—coming from the worlds of jazz, contemporary music, and French variety—have embraced this instrument for its unique musical qualities.

Its exceptional tonal palette makes it a true reference instrument, capable of supporting the most demanding performances with unmatched richness, depth, and expression.

Compact Plus: Inspired by the Masters, Defined by Resonance.
