The accordion expander combination performs very well. The expander is one of the few specific accordion expanders and the special features are very helpful in providing a full sound for the accordionist with some excellent accordion sounds.
The instrument is really easy to use and should be immediately playable on plugging in to your amplifier and expander. Just press buttons on the accordion and play away. This offer comprises the accordion, expander, connecting cables, case and straps.
THE KIT
All in very good working order - buyers should satisfy themselves as to the description before bidding as descriptions are subjective. The accordion transmits midi signals to the expander and other expanders could be added. The kit is fully guaranteed.
