Roland FR3 sb since 6 years . Works very well except I had a problem with the power supply plug of the tansfo (broken) of the instrument. The connection is badly placed (input face down) when you play sitting: you pull on the wire despite the stop placed above. All the plugs are placed as I helped you on the bottom so made to play standing. That was repaired and since it is good. For your information, in spite of the broken plug, I was playing with good and adequate batteries (10 for 2 hours). This accordion is equipped with 10 batteries and a power supply. To conclude I had several brands of accordion MAUGEIN , PIERFI , FRATELLI CROSIO chromatic accordions and to finish I have only my ROLAND FR3sb . Good reading

the only problem with Roland is their ergonomics and the right hand keyboards are too hard!!! personally I could never play correctly with Roland for me and for 60 years !!!!!! the rolls of the accordion is Cavagnolo!

indeed the right keyboard is harder, you are right. I am more comfortable on a classical chromatic accordion. I had a small FRATELLI CROSIO and I played better. I miss playing on a chromatic. Finally I will see

Currently I have a goldencup piano but my biggest desire would be a hohner musette Atlantic 4 or a hohner morino

Thanks for your answers. From what I've read here, and elsewhere, the most popular and played brands (top 10) are;
Hohner, Roland, Weltmeister, Crucianelli, Cavagnolo, Scandalli, Piermaria, Sonola, Titano and Fratelli Crosio.
I know it depends a lot on personal preferences, but would you agree with that?

Hello
There are various brands of accordions on the internet. But I don't know how they compare.
"Made in China" is no longer a criterion of mediocrity. It's not easy to make up your mind.
Including the brands mentioned by the following speakers, there are the: Accordiola Balone Beltuna Bonetti Bonifassi Borsini Burini Caca-digit Carpentier Cassotto Castagnari Cavagnolo Crucianelli Danube Del Sol Empire Excelsior Fisart Fratelli Crosio Giulietti Hohner Iorio Jazz La Tosca Maugein Mengacini Nobility Noble Notech Piermaria Pigini Roland Rossetti Saltarelle Scandali SofiaMari Stradella Titano V-Accordion Victoria Viper Weltmeister Westminster
Are there any other brands?
Which accordions are the most sought after for their sound and quality?
What are the brands to avoid?
What is your favorite accordion?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and personal taste.

Interesting.
In the trade, salesmen have arguments to sell their brands. I would like to know the opinions of accordionists. That's what this discussion is about.
Thank you for participating.

Hello to all:
I would have liked to know who started this subject!! which is succeptible to interest some members of the forum.
As far as I am concerned, I have used several brands, and I have my own opinion on the question; the brand is certainly an important criterion but, as in a brand of cars, there is a whole range, so it remains to determine the budget to devote to the use that you want to make of an accordion.. there are also traditional acoustic accordions, accoustic accordions equipped with midi, and purely electronic accordions (without accoustics) chromatic bass accordions etc...
To say that a brand is better than the other certainly but it is difficult to openly denigrate a brand or to make publicity for another §§§
see you soon

Hello
there is an excellent French brand "Maugein".
http://www.accordeons-maugein.com/visite/index.html
but in my favorite brands I would also give fratelli crosio, piermaria, cavagnolo and hohner if we take in the range fun pro (which is of Italian manufacture)

In terms of brands, there is also Noble and Empire.
I have a Noble accordion myself that I am quite happy with, and a friend has an Empire that he is very happy with as well.
Favorite brand hum.... I had the opportunity to have several hohner, westminster, and other brands too old to be still readable on the beast :)
Overall from my experience (but it depends on the different models) my favorites would be for hohner and noble.

Good evening accordionists
Choosing an accordion is like choosing a car, so you see how important subjectivity is, there are mercedes fans and BMW fans and happy owners of CITROEN or PEUGEOT, they are all cars but ...... ????
Two very important criteria in my opinion apart from the price, 1° think of the weight of the beast, if you make of the ball 11 kg on the shoulders during hours, at 20 years çà passes to 60 çà breaks!Then look at the smaller models or the new carbon body (Accordiola, lighter)
or all digital (5/6 kg approximately, Bonifassi, Caca-digit, Rolland V-ACCORDEON, etc...)
2° what kind of music will you play, big musette, jazzy, variety, folk, ?
and 3° think about the proximity of the S.A.V., there are several manufacturers in France (among others Maugein, Cavagnolo, Accordiola, to mention only that, but there are others and good ones too),
I play on ACCORDIOLA model 04 which is 15 years old and which sounds wonderful (for my personal taste) and which has never caused me any problems, and I also play on a CAVAGNOLO ODYSSEE (all digital HF), which I appreciate especially for its lightness, which I like less at the sound level.
So here is to advise a choice I do not venture, look around you question the accordionists you meet, and in my opinion it is like the rest, the cheap is when a sign of lesser quality, and you will see

re,
by an unfortunate click I posted my message without finishing it,
so in conclusion, look also at discussion forums, there are some for the most common brands,
Good luck and good purchase, you will enjoy yourself anyway with this wonderful instrument that is the accordion.

Hello to all.
There are also Carpentier tuners, including many stars of the accordion, including James Lesueur-Delphine Lemoine, and many others.
Carpentier was taken over by Jean-Claude HEYDEN
Accordially good day

Hello,
I have played on many accordions of different brands and, as one of our friends said, it is like choosing a car. There is the price, the aesthetics and the engine. It is impossible to say which manufacturer is the best. While it is true that Italian-made accordions are considered the best, in Italy the Maugein is considered an excellent accordion. I had a Dallape (brand of Stradella, the sanctuary of accordions) which is the Rolls of the accordions. It is like the others, it does not play by itself and very few people are able to tell the difference between its sound and that of other brands.
Maybe I am not completely impartial. I am from Piacenza, an Italian town located 30 km from Stradella where I have been many times even if the last one was 20 years ago.
In conclusion, a general rule that applies to almost everything, the more expensive an accordion is, the better it is.
Have a nice day
Dan

After hearing him
; I was tempted by the price at instrumentalsavings.com and bought a Rossetti 2 octave 25 keys 12 bass piano accordion for my 7 year old granddaughter, believing that if she didn't have an accordion, she would never play one. For a little beginner, it should do the job.
What amazes me is that I can get a better price buying on the internet in California than at home in Quebec City! It seems to me that I live closer to Italy than people on the Pacific coast. Even if it is an Italian brand, the accordion could be made in China. I'll know when I receive it.

Hello,
There are also the Balone Burini, and Mengacini.
Personally I play on a Pigini super variety. My two previous accordions were also Pigini.
The choice of an instrument is very personal and also depends on the repertoire... Anyway, it is better to try before buying.

HelloPersonally I have been playing on Piermaria for 20 years, I am absolutely delighted with it as far as I am concerned.
Many brands are excellent, it's often a question of budget, if you go to a specialized store, you can try different types of instruments and especially at different prices.
