Century
The Century is the newest addition to Cavagnolo’s family of double cassotto accordions. A 4-voices instrument featuring a Piccolo (H 4′) reed positioned outside the cassotto, it carries forward the spirit of the legendary Vedette 10 SK while embracing a fully Cavagnolo sound identity.
The Century offers improved bellows efficiency, a beautifully balanced relationship between the right-hand and left-hand sections, and a comprehensive selection of 12 registers. Compared with the Vedette 10 SK, it delivers an even richer, more powerful, and more complete sound.
The result is an instrument that combines modern performance with the unmistakable character of the Cavagnolo tradition, offering a musical experience that is both innovative and deeply rooted in the brand’s heritage.
Supplied with its carrying case, shoulder straps, and warranty certificate.
The Century is a unique instrument within the Cavagnolo range, as it does not feature the traditional Cavagnolo American sound. Instead, it introduces a Piccolo reed positioned outside the cassotto—a first for Cavagnolo.
Its Piccolo (H 4′) registers deliver remarkable clarity and brilliance, making it particularly well suited to jazz, world music, and accompaniment. For musicians who already own a Cavagnolo with an American register, the Century is the perfect complementary instrument, opening up an entirely different tonal universe.
Despite its distinctive sound character, it remains unmistakably a Cavagnolo. It incorporates our exclusive ball-valve technology for enhanced bellows efficiency, a comfortable rounded left-hand design, and exceptionally precise note attacks. Built with screwed and pinned reed blocks in the finest Cavagnolo tradition, the Century combines innovation with the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define the brand.
