Description

★BUGARI Button Accordion Player Development Double Support Campaign!

The prices of authentic Italian accordions continue to rise due to various factors, including the weak yen, ongoing wars in various regions, and rising raw material costs.
Even so, we hope that more players will experience the precision, reliable response, and rich, solid tone that top-class accordion maker BUGARI ARMANDO boasts, and immerse themselves in the enjoyment of their instruments, both at practice and in concerts. At our Ikebear Accordion School, where active players serve as instructors, we are seeing an increasing number of people expressing their desire to start with a button accordion. To fulfill these hopes and requests, we are running a special campaign for the button accordions we have just received.

★Campaign 1
"Ikebea Accordion Class Lesson Ticket"
The accordion is a difficult instrument to learn on your own, and because the playing style of a button accordion is quite different from that of a piano, lessons are the most effective way to improve.
At the Ikebea Accordion School, experienced, active players will provide thorough instruction to help you improve.
In this campaign, we will cover the cost of lessons for the period shown.
If you buy a good instrument, you need good lessons.
Please enjoy the profound charm of the accordion.

■Conditions of use: Those who are able to attend face-to-face lessons at Ikebe Accordion School.
・Whether you take the once-monthly or twice-monthly course, you will be able to attend for the number of months indicated.
・In order to ensure continuity, the instructors available for this campaign will be limited to one instructor from the course you have enrolled in.
You cannot take classes with multiple instructors.
Additional lessons will be charged separately.
・Registration fees and lesson fees after the end of the period will be charged at the standard rates.
If you cancel your scheduled lesson for personal reasons, it cannot be rescheduled.
・Depending on the availability of lesson slots, we may not be able to accommodate your desired instructor or time slot.
・Lessons must start within three months of purchasing the product.
・This campaign cannot be applied to those who find it difficult to attend face-to-face lessons, but for those who are just starting to play the accordion, we will provide one introductory instruction book as a free gift.
If you would like this, please contact us at the time of purchase.

★Campaign No. 2 Support campaign price!
Recently, there has been a significant price increase every time new stock arrives, and this time, although the selling price would normally be 10% off the list price (estimated normal selling price: 2,860,000 yen including tax), we have decided to offer it at the best possible price to support you, and because it features the BUGARI reproduction logo specification (※), which was produced in one piece only, we have made it equivalent to a 25% discount.


I hope that accordion players will grow and spread from Japan.
This campaign is limited to stocks of each model and will end once sold out.
Don't miss it!

(※) Unlike the cursive logos on other models, the BUGARI logo is not connected, but is attached to the body one letter at a time, so it may appear slightly tilted, but this is a manufacturing specification for the handmade product. Please note.

◆The ultimate high-end "508 SilverPlus TURBO"

■Everything is designed to exceed the ultimate.The reeds used in the highest-end model to date, the 508 Gold/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.
