Wow, that's a belter of an accordion @saundersbp. It has all the qualities I would want in an instrument; it's compact and relatively light (very light by chromatic converter standards), plus it has a full 4 octaves on each side. A "complete" instrument without all the unwanted bulk and weight. A great instrument for those with a long term view.

That's the REAL thing.....

It's a great compact instrument. My wife has been playing a 540/ARS/C for several years now. She loves it! It is very light to the touch (the lightest keyboard of all our accordions) and it has very powerful sound (which people often find hard to believe from such a compact instrument).
My initial plan was to play this accordion myself, but when we got it (bought through an auction) it turned out to be a bit small for me and just the right size for my wife...

I'm not a CBA - just a Bugari player.
I can second their excellent sound, handling an overall quality.

.......what a lovely instrument and even more lovely demonstrations....if I knew how to play C-system, I'd be interested but I unfortunately do not.

A great post! Thank you.

My wife plays one and enjoys it very much. It is a compact marvel of engineering to get this much into such a small box. (4 voice treble, 52 notes, LM in cassotto), left hand with 49 notes melody bass (LM)...
Of course many people will consider it very expensive for a "small accordion", but it is really a large accordion compressed into a small box.

He bought a Bugari 580/ARS/C... one league higher. So unlikely to have any regrets.
