Both the Nova and Tesla are cheaper in China than in Europe then... unless that's pre-tax?

Ha, ha... Xuhaochen! I think you like the prestige of the Pigini name best. 
Seems the Pigini Nova is the "new Hohner *Gola". Now, if you do get a Nova, promise me you WON'T be playing it whilst wearing a sold gold, diamond encrusted Rolex! 
*in case you didn't know, back in the olden days the Gola was seen as the King of accordions too... Many people wanted one because of the kudos of the name!

These are all prices after tax, I have always thought that nova is more expensive to buy in China than in Europe, because China is too far away from there. Tesla is indeed cheaper in China, because the factory is in China, it can even be cheaper, but the government does not allow it, other electric car brands also need to survive

I believe that the Nova is just shy of €40,000 here after tax, so about 310,000 RMB as you originally said - I was converting from GBP rather than EUR... oops! So the Nova is the same price, but your cars are cheaper
You are really humorous hahaha, I have to admit that the reason why I am willing to buy one of nova is because of its fame, but I believe it is too exaggerated to spend 40,000 euros just because of fame, I am not rich or rich, I can not do itHa, ha... Xuhaochen! I think you like the prestige of the Pigini name best.

Hahaha, it seems that the price of nova is about the same. I have seen from dealer websites in other countries that the prices are also about the same. But maybe only Tesla is cheaper than yours in China. Other brands are very expensive and have a lot of taxes.I believe that the Nova is just shy of €40,000 here after tax, so about 310,000 RMB as you originally said - I was converting from GBP rather than EUR... oops!

What type of accordion do you play? Is it a B system button accordion?

I have been in possession of a pigini nova for several weeks. It's a fantastic instrument. Beautiful mechanism, beautiful sound, deep bass. I had the chance to test out a Sirius as well. There are certainly differences. The nova sounds warmer and livelier in the cassoto, the left hand has more depth (16+16 register or pigini notes it as 8+8), it is louder and the action feels nicer. However, I do think that these differences are especially noticeable with professional accordionists and that "laymen" would not notice a difference. I had to wait a little less than a year for my nova and had an extra high D placed in the left hand at the request of my teacher (that joke costs me 500 euros extra, pigini wasn't too keen on doing that either). In total I paid 28,600 eur.

What was the reason for needing the extra note? Do you use it a lot?
Is yours piano or bayan? Why is the price of bayan that I know is much cheaper? Does pigini give you a protector for your chin? I saw it in the new bugari

My teacher also put it on his accordion out of frustration. He plays a lot of baroque music and he noticed that he fell short on that note. Previously he always had to turn on his picolo register in the left hand. I have no idea if I'll be using that nut much.

I have a bayan if you can call it that. I have no idea why the price is so much cheaper. I live in belgium. You might think that because I don't have to pay customs fees it's so cheap, but in France, which is a neighboring country of Belgium, they also pay around 40,000 euros. I once talked to an Italian accordionist and they pay around 25,000 euros for a Nova. You do indeed get protection for the chinregistries
The price in your country is so affordable, I'm envious

How much does a Sirius cost in China?

I think a lot of dealers make excessive profits. In France, for example, there seems to be only one dealer who has a monopoly and can therefore charge such a high price. The dealer is also on the border with Spain, so you have to drive a long way for it as a Frenchman. My dealer has direct competition with a dealer in the Netherlands, so he cannot ask too high prices in order to compete. I also think that my dealer has good contacts with pigini and other Italian brands.
As far as I know, sirius costs 30,000 euros in China, pigini’s dealer price in China is very stable, and nova needs 298,000 yuan
What is not widely known is that Chinese dealers order about six novas directly from pigini every year, regardless of whether they are paid or not, so it is possible to buy novas in stock in China, but they sell very quickly. But I know a lot of teachers, they order directly from pigini, they think the quality of nova in the dealer's hands is not good, but I don't know what is wrong

What are the main systems used in China? Are there many piano accordionists or is it mostly B system button accordion? Is C system popular?
Most of them are b-system button accordions, piano accordions are becoming less and less, and many children are beginning to learn free bass,
