Fun Star Series: an accordion designed for live playing
The FUN STAR series targets accordionists seeking an efficient instrument for real conditions: travel, rehearsals, events, and concerts. The idea is simple: offer a compact and lightweight accordion while maintaining a convincing sound presence. On this FUN STAR 96B, the resonance box plays a central role: it enhances projection and contributes to a fuller sound sensation, particularly appreciated when you need to "fill" the space, accompany a singer, or lead a group without strain.
Its Black Glitter finish clearly emphasizes stage aesthetics: a look that catches the light and highlights the instrument during public performances, without compromising handling or overall balance.
A versatile 96 bass accordion for accompaniment, stage, and repertoire
With its 96 basses, this model targets musicians who need a complete left hand for accompaniment: chord progressions, alternating basses, rhythms, counter-melodies, and harmonized transitions. This configuration suits both popular music and more composed repertoires, as long as a rich and stable left hand is desired.
The right hand with 66 keys / 50 notes on 4 rows offers a playing logic designed for the chromatic button accordion: fluidity in keys, consistent fingerings across the keyboard, and ease in tackling fast melodic lines. It is a relevant choice for accordionists who prioritize precision, speed, and excellent position readability, especially on stage where confidence in playing is essential.
