TITANO ROYAL Accordion
Dear Accordion Friends,
Back in 2004 I promised to present some of the very best accordions I have ever played. There are many nice instruments that can keep us satisfied and inspired. However, once you come across an exceptional quality accordion you know it from the first chord you play! We all deserve to find our ultimate accordion, the accordion we will never part with. Fortunately, we have different preferences and this makes the accordion world as exciting and colorful it is. I have found MY sacred accordion and I know how great it feels to be able to hear that dream sound each time you play. I am sure someone will soon feel the same way about the accordion I am presenting to you now.
This is a very special accordion, the crown jewel of Titano's "SUPER MODELS" line. This is one of the best Titano accordion I've had and one of the best accordions I've played. The sound is warm, yet powerful. From the deep resonant bassoon to the heart melting clarinet and crisp piccolo all the reeds bring joy and happiness to the performer and the listeners. The bass is in perfect balance to the treble. For those of you have have been fortunate to play the American made Bell and the original Scandalli Super VI from the 1950s I can tell you this is the "clarinet" sound and the bass growl that became the fingerprint of these legendary accordions. I have played many Titano accordions and while they are all very nice instruments this one is truly EXCEPTIONAL - fabulous reeds response, dynamic range and overtones, excellent mechanics, perfect balance. Made in Italy in the late 1960s, Serial Number 33515Spectacular hand-made double-riveted BINCI reeds (LMMH)Double Tone Chamber (Cassotto)

New comfortable shoulder strapsFactory Amplified with Treble/Bass volume knobs on the grillVery good hard shell case27 lb I serviced this accordion in February 2016. The instrument looks great. It is clean, with excellent mechanics and compression. Most importantly, the tonal quality is truly impressive. You can play the instrument very soft or very loud and it will respond instantly. You are welcome to visit the Accordion Gallery and treat yourself with a memorable performance with this fascinating accordion. Call 973-770-6877 with questions or to schedule your visit. Let's take a look inside the accordion...The keyboard was serviced in February 2016. All original valves are in excellent condition. The interior is beautifully finished. The tone chamber is made of single piece aged mahogany.
The accordion has matured nicely and grown to its full potential. The harmonic richness is truly impressive.The number on the reed blocks is 083. I have serviced about a dozen of these models over the last 20 years.
There are not many of them made. I believe this number is for the Royal models while the 33515 number on the back
of the accordion is a general serial number running across all Titano models. It is reasonable to assume that in a
good year the company would make few hundred accordions of all models but only 20-30 Royal models.The 083 internal serial number and the evolution of the tone chamber (from rectangular to round) makes me think
this instrument was made in the late 1960s.The accordion features spectacular hand-made double riveted BINCI reeds. The reed blocks are identical to the reed blocks found in the 1950's Scandalli Super VI. Even more interestingly, the
mounting of the bass blocks is the same and only found in these two models - Scandalli Super VI and Titano Royal.
I have no doubts there has been some collaboration between the manufacturers.
