AM-1100 Grand Concert
The Grand Concert is inspired by the essence of a classical sounding Concert instrument. A precise, crystal clear tone is produced by the development of a solid Mahogany wood cabinet construction. The AM-1100 belongs to a class of its own, setting the standard by which all other accordions are compared. Uniquely and individually handcrafted from the highest quality materials through four generations of craftsmen, no accordion is as powerful in sound nor will endure the test of time like an AM-1100. The AM-1100 Grand Concert is designed for the classical and traditional accordionist. A uniquely dry-tuned violin register captures the breathy tone of a non-chambered voice with the melodic resonance of a chambered voice. A smooth and distinct clarity to each note.

"I've been playing many new accordions over the years just to conclude that the 'Golden Age' is inevitably in the past. Well, I was wrong... every aspect of the AM-1100 - the balance, the keyboard feel, the nice blend between treble and bass, the reeds sensitivity and response. Looking inside the accordion was a great experience by itself.

"The petosa AM-1100 has accompanied me on tour in over 25 countries and nearly half a century. I have never played a more responsive, better built accordion in my 70-year career."
