Any Excelsior accordion can also be fitted with the excellent Midi Vox system, which features a full treble and bass midi alongside integral microphones. Today, each Excelsior accordion is still handcrafted in Castelfidardo by highly skilled artisans, many of which have been working for the company for several generations.Įxcelsiors are ideal accordions for players of any ability, with a wide range of models to suit all styles of music. Top-end models such as the 940, Symphony Gold and the famous AC, as played by Art Van Damme, were exported throughout Europe and beyond. In the early 1950s all Excelsior production was moved to the Italian town of Castelfidardo, and these accordions soon became renowned for their full, rich tone and excellent build quality. Castelfidardo is famous for being the birthplace of the accordion over 150 years ago, and is still the centre of the accordion industry today.
