The Saltarelle Arcadia is a true technical achievement, pushing the limits of compactness without sacrificing musical possibilities. Made of solid wood, this chromatic button accordion offers all the features of a 3-voice 96-bass model, while remaining smaller than many 80-bass two-voice accordions.
At only 36 cm high in playing position, it is among the most compact 96-bass accordions on the market. This particularly accomplished design makes it an instrument that is pleasant to handle, while still retaining great playing versatility.
The Arcadia is also the most complete model in the Saltarelle button accordion range. Its 5 right-hand registers and 5 left-hand registers make it possible to vary the sounds and adapt the instrument to many repertoires and musical styles.
Particular attention has been paid to its ergonomics, especially thanks to the rounded left-hand side of the body, which promotes a natural grip and excellent playing comfort.
