◆The truly high-end model that surpasses the ultimate, the "288 SilverPlus TURBO" is born.

■Everything is designed to exceed the ultimate.The reeds used in the highest-end model to date, the 288 Silver Plus, are the sound-producing bodies of accordion makers, and are the result of the time and effort of artisans in Castelfidardo, Italy, the mecca of accordion manufacturing, who call them the "Ultimate Hand Made Reeds."
Until now, it was thought that nothing could surpass this, but Bugari aimed to go beyond the ultimate.
The answer was the "Turbo Reed," which is the origin of the name of this model.

■ "Turbo Reed" - a reed made with traditional techniques and musical adjustments
What was needed to surpass the ultimate was the skill and time of the craftsman.
Using traditional techniques that are no longer used, each reed is adjusted to the utmost.
This takes a huge amount of time.
The lead craftsman initially rejected the offer, saying it would take too much time.
Approximately 500 reeds are required for one accordion.
Even the "Ultimate Hand Made Reed" takes nearly twice as long as a regular handmade reed, making it a difficult process, but this "Turbo Reed" takes even more time and effort.
For accordions, which require a large number of reeds, the time required to complete one reed is a matter of life and death for the craftsman.
But it's all about the sound.
Our craftsmen have finally begun to produce the ultimate in handmade reeds.
The result was the Turbo Reed, a handmade reed that surpasses the ultimate in quality, polished to a silver finish all the way to the bottom, and producing a lively sound from the entire reed.
Because the entire reed resonates, including parts that normally have difficulty vibrating due to its structure, the sound is clear and provides excellent response and musical expression from soft to loud notes.
This reed is so rare and expensive that it is generally not installed in any model other than the high-end models.
It is truly a crystallization of the skill and soul of a reed craftsman.

■Brown Leather: A premium sub-leather that combines the best aspects of leather and plastic
Nowadays, the use of plastic film covers has become common worldwide, and this is also the case for many accordions imported to Japan.
However, it is not well suited to Japan's hot and humid climate, and the sound it produces is quite light, so the Bugali accordions we import use traditional leather.
In this context, this "TURBO" model uses a new, high-quality sub-leather called "Brown Leather," which was developed in recent years.
By combining leather and film, we have created a high-quality sub-leather that has excellent braking properties and durability.
The transition from sound to sound is truly smooth, and you can feel the superb sound control with almost no fluttering.


■Luxurious use of "Turbo Reed" and "Brown Leather"This "BUGARI TURBO" model features an exquisite body that has been precisely crafted with the skill of a master artisan, and is luxuriously covered in the entire unit's worth of extremely rare and expensive "Turbo Reed" and "Brown Leather."
This is a true high-end model with so much potential that it's impossible to know how much it will grow as you play it.
The sounds that are produced are truly treasures.
This is a supreme masterpiece from BUGARI/Kankendo for accordionists.
