The Castagnari Weilly
Introducing the Wielly, our most versatile Castagnari Model yet with 4 sets of Professional Reeds, 7 registers on the right hand side and 4 on the left. These options allow you to play with 1, 2, 3 or all 4 reeds in different combinations. The Bass couplers allow you to remove the thirds from the chord and also the low reed to create a quieter sound as you go through the sound combinations.
As always Castagnari produce a high-quality finish and the Padeuk wood stands out with its deep, rich colour. Any professional would be proud to not only play but be seen playing this beautiful stand out piece.
As usual Castagnari have produced a fast action Accordion with great response.

The Castagnri Sharon
This is the new Sharon accordion.
Sharon Shannon has been playing the stepped fingerboard version for over 25 years and Sharon approached the company about a flat version of the Tommy, they didnt have to do a lot, its the same frame size, same sound as she always had and today the very same accordion is now available to buy off the shelf.
Castagnari has always respected Sharon Shannon for her style of playing on their accordions and finally they asked could they call the accordion “The Sharon” in her Honour.
Sharon has been approached by a few different companies over the Years to play their accordion and she obliges for the TV appearances but will only play one tune on the sponsored accordion and then she will always revert to the Castagnari Sharon as she is most comfortable with her Castagnari.
The Sound is the very same as the Tommy and unbelievably light with a big melodeon sound on the 3 reeds.
I am guaranteeing these accordions for 3 years so why not treat yourself to a visit to our showroom and experience the quality, craftsmanship and outstanding sound of this instrument for yourself.
