Self-playing Accordion

Also known as Tanzbaer / Magic Organa / Magieca / Player Accordion / Automatic Accordion.

The self-playing mechanical Accordion plays with real tone reeds, like a regular instrument. Therefore the tone generation is absolutely mechanical - without a speaker/amplifier. You only have to move the bellows to produce the air for the reeds and the volume can be controlled via the bellows pressure (dynamic playing). The finger movements are taken over by an electronic control system and the songs are saved on a small memory card.

Tone scale: 40 tone
