Dino Baffetti Studio II A Piano Accordion 34 Key 96 Bass

Quick overview

• Type: Piano accordion
• Level: Advanced to professional
• Origin: Italy
• Keyboard: 34 piano keys
• Best for: Performance, traditional music, serious study and versatile repertoire

Sound and character

The Studio II A has a full, confident and highly flexible accordion sound. With 4 voices on the treble side in a double octave configuration, 16' 8' 8' 4', it gives the player access to a wide tonal palette, from rich and rounded sounds through to brighter, more projecting registers.

The Tirate A Mano reeds from the Nuova Artigiana reed factory in Italy give this accordion a strong, responsive voice. These stretched reeds are designed to optimise the sound-producing potential of the steel, improving elasticity, response and tonal clarity.

Why players choose this accordion

At Squeezebox Marketplace, we typically see players choose instruments like the Studio II A when they want a serious Italian piano accordion with greater tonal range, better response and more musical authority than a standard student-level instrument.

Playability and response

With 34 piano keys and 96 bass, the Studio II A offers an excellent balance between range, power and manageability. It gives the player enough scope for demanding repertoire without moving into the size and weight of a full 120 bass accordion.

The reed response is a major strength of this instrument. The Tirate A Mano reeds speak clearly and confidently, helping the player shape phrasing, dynamics and articulation with control.

Bass end and control

The 96 bass layout gives the Studio II A a strong and versatile left-hand accompaniment system, suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

• 96 bass buttons for broad harmonic flexibility
• 5 bass registers for tonal variation on the bass end

Instrument scope and capability

The Studio II A sits in an important place in the piano accordion range. It offers more depth, flexibility and tonal control than smaller student accordions, while remaining more manageable than many full-size professional instruments.

For players who want a capable Italian accordion for performance, regular playing or serious development, the 34 key, 96 bass format is a very practical and versatile choice.
