GIULIETTI ACCORDION

The founder of the company, Julio Giulietti (1910-1996), is a famous Italian manufacturer based in Castelfidardo, on the Adriatic coast of Italy. This remarkable piano accordion can be recognized by the characteristic grid but also by the specific sound of the Giulietti accordions and the chromatic free bass system. Unlike a standard bass system (Stradella Bass System), a free-bass system is arranged to give the performer greater access to playing melodies on the left-hand manual of the instrument and to forming one's own chords.  Basically, a standard setup work well for major and minor music accompanied by many chords but a free-bass system is designed to assist in the performance of both classical and symphonic jazz compositions.
