Century Compact<\/h1>\n

The Century Compact<\/b><\/span> is a 4-reed accordion featuring a double cassotto, with the Piccolo (H 4′) reed positioned outside the cassotto. Within the cassotto are the Bassoon (L 16′) and one Flute (M 8′) reed, while a second Flute (M 8′) reed and the Piccolo (H 4′) reed are mounted outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perfectly suited to world music, jazz, and contemporary repertoire, it offers an exceptionally broad tonal palette, including beautiful Bandoneon and Piccolo (Quinzi\u00e8me) registers. Compact in size with its 96-bass configuration, it features five left-hand registers and twelve right-hand registers.<\/p>\n

While it does not deliver the traditional Cavagnolo American sound, it excels as a complementary acoustic accordion, thanks to its remarkable versatility and the outstanding quality of its registers.<\/p>\n

Supplied with its carrying case, shoulder straps, and warranty certificate.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
