A series designed to go straight to the musette sound
The Fun Pro series is aimed at accordionists who want to access a 3-voice configuration without switching to heavier or more complex instruments. With its Musette register (2 voices) complemented by a Bassoon, this model has a clear goal: to allow players to approach the essential sounds of the French accordion and explore a wide range of styles, while staying within a controlled budget.
Within a range, this type of configuration often positions itself as an excellent "next step" after a simpler instrument: you gain in nuance, presence, and variety of timbres thanks to the registers, while maintaining an accessible grip.
Who is this accordion for and in what contexts?
The Durall Fun Pro is particularly suitable for motivated beginners, conservatory students or music school pupils, and amateurs who want to play musette, waltzes, pasos, tangos, but also pop songs where changing the sound color with a single gesture is appreciated. The 96 basses provide a comfortable harmonic foundation to work on left-hand accompaniment, build chord progressions, and support a more assertive solo playing.
Its size and weight of 9 kg make it an instrument suitable for rehearsals, lessons, and occasional performances, with reasonable bulk for transport.
Registers, voices, and sound palette: the essentials for expressiveness
A 3-voice right hand to move from velvet to musette
The right hand offers 3 voices: a Musette (2 voices) and a Bassoon. This combination is particularly appreciated for working contrasts: a rounder and deeper sound with the Bassoon, and a more characteristic, more "danceable" color with the Musette. The 6 right-hand registers facilitate these character changes, whether to differentiate verses and choruses or to adapt the timbre to a specific style.
A structured left hand for solid accompaniment
With 96 basses and 4 left-hand voices, the accompaniment gains in density and stability. The 3 left-hand registers allow adjusting the response and color of the accompaniment according to the repertoire: more discreet to let a melody breathe, or more present to carry the pulse of an ensemble.
Keyboard and layout: a solid base for progress
The right keyboard features 66 keys for 50 notes and 4 rows on the right hand, a configuration that provides solid landmarks for working technique, precision, and articulation. Whether you aim to deliver a clear musette phrasing or develop a more legato playing on pop pieces, this base allows methodical progress while enjoying an already evolving sound palette thanks to the registers.
