Petosa AM-1100

Accordion · United States

Petosa's flagship professional piano accordion, introduced in 1985 and individually handcrafted in the United States, sometimes called the Stradivarius of the accordion. It uses a 41-key treble keyboard and 120-button Stradella bass with a double tone chamber, around 11 registers, and a four-to-five-voice (LMMM) reed setup of genuine Petosa hand-made reeds with hand-cut calfskin valves, in a mahogany body. It can be specified with microphones and MIDI.

Run by four generations of the Petosa family and now based in Lynnwood, Washington, it is known for individually handcrafted professional accordions, most notably the AM-1100.
