Very nice!
Lucky you!??
Lucky you!??
Not only will you learn, you will get in SHAPE... this is one of the few accordions that I know that is heavier than my Hohner Morino VI N... lol
Beautiful accordion!!
Beautiful accordion!!
Accordion and straps together weigh 13.225Kg. (21.21pounds.)
I won't be dancing around playing it, for sure.
But it did come with a pristine hard case which is equipped with small 'trolley' wheels like a suitcase. (another 5.05 Kg. - just over 11 pounds.)
And the bellows etc. are so airtight that it is unbelievably easy to maintain a steady airflow with quite small movements.

Ffingers,
Actually, 13.225 Kg is 29 lb 2.5 oz: over 2 stone!
Quite a heft!?

Thanks, folks - your corrections are correct - 21.21lb was a typical "Ffingers" problem. 
It's a hefty beast indeed.

Not enough Ffingers???...21.21lb was a typical "Ffingers" problem.
Nope; A TYFO rather than a typo.
(Take Your FInger Out - expression which seems to have lost currency)
God almighty, with my background I should have spotted the error before I'd finished typing it: I blame it on Scomo and the self-contradicting confusion that we have for a government for curdling my cranial contents.
I'd love to hear a little demo of all the registers separately, right and left hands... I'd like to try to make some kind of fake digital version of this one the Roland FR-8X.

( like many retirees I have no idea of how I ever found the time to take paid employment ) and have no specialised recording gear, but I'll try a few chromatic runs and chords on the iPhone if that would suffice. Whotcha rekon?

Stop stealing my lines... haha!
A short slow run of 3-5 notes (any notes will do) in each of the registers and on the left hand a simple couple of "oom-pah" or three in each register is all that I am looking for, and sure anything will do.
Its all for fun as we know that there is no way in hades that a digital accordion could ever sound like yours.
Is the Super Organ a different beast to the Super ?
I had a Super, albeit in PA, a while back which looked very similar
From what I have gleaned from the internet, PS had several "Super *****" over the years.
Mine is an older model, nicely tuned and serviced by the repairer who sold it to me, but there are newer models bearing the same name but with varying technical attributes.
Mine does not have a converter function whereas some that I have seen advertised have this.
Your search engine might be your friend.
In the current Paolo Soprani line, “Super” indicates that the accordion is equipped with a double cassotto, with “Super King” being single cassotto.

interesting.. when I first started to become intrigued last year, I borrowed a friend's Excelsior Genavox, it weighs a staggering 15.1kg-33.3 lbs! Now I'm wondering what is the heaviest accordion anyone here plays ?
My Paolo Soprani from the 1960s has no cassotto but weighs about 28 lbs with straps. That’s my heaviest, but it is light compared to the bayans played by some members of this forum!
