Junior Coupe Mondiale, Round II

KORG Reception
 

The team at KORG invited attendees at the CIA Coupe Mondiale to attend their new digital accordion unveiling reception at the Paolo Soprani Terrace in Castelfidardo, Italy. The KORG management team welcomed guests and demonstrated the instrument showcasing the easy preset options through to the technical advancements of the latest technology.

Introduction from the KORG website: Our team, based in Italy and deeply rooted in the world of accordion music, has expertly crafted every detail from button sizes & positions, correct angles and layouts to the overall feel of the instrument.

This profound understanding of what accordionists truly need ensures that the FISA Suprema delivers an unparalleled authentic experience for accordion players of every taste and style, all while honouring the legacy of Korg’s co-founder, Tadashi Osanai, an accordionist himself. Our commitment to authenticity and precision is reflected in every aspect of the FISA Suprema.
 
With 45 meticulously crafted accordion types covering accordions from all around the world, FISA Suprema has an authenticity that rivals the finest traditional instruments, removing the need for multiple accordions. FISA Suprema even allows you to customise your instrument to create your perfect accordion.
 
Choose the type and combination of reeds, decide whether the reed is placed inside or outside the cassotto (tone chamber), select the type of growl and mechanical noises, decide your tuning, and configure the bass layout to your preference. You can even selectively “age” the sound of the instrument, creating a truly personalised accordion tailored to your personal taste and style.
 
Available in both keyboard and button versions, FISA Suprema caters to the diverse needs of accordionists worldwide.
