The Ultime Collection<\/h1>\n

The NewTech range has given way to the Ultime Collection. But before we reveal it, let\u2019s take a brief look back.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

In 2017, we introduced the NewTech accordions, our first carbon-fiber models, combining lightweight construction, exceptional durability, and rich sound quality. Thanks to this technology, the thickness of the accordion body was reduced from 6 mm to 3 mm, while benefiting from a high-quality gelcoat finish.<\/p>\n

The success was immediate. Amateur and professional musicians alike embraced these instruments for their remarkable weight reduction. Yet we wanted to go even further\u2014without compromising range, aesthetics, or sound quality.<\/p>\n

In 2026, that ambition became reality with the launch of the Ultime Collection<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Quality, elegance, strength, weight, and design come together in perfect harmony. Constructed entirely from carbon fiber, this new generation offers even greater acoustic performance, an ultra-thin body thickness of just 1.1 mm, and a 40% increase in structural strength.<\/p>\n

Why call it Ultime?<\/b> Because it represents the ultimate expression of our craftsmanship\u2014and you\u2019re about to discover why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Absolutely! The bodies of the Ultime Collection achieve an astonishing thickness of just 1.1 mm, compared with 3 mm for the NewTech range and 6 mm for traditional accordion bodies.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Not at all. Quite the opposite. Thanks to technologies derived from the aerospace industry, we have achieved a 40% increase in rigidity, despite the exceptionally thin accordion bodies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Aerospace technology, you say? And where are they made?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

In France, of course! To achieve such a level of precision, we partnered with leading French specialists in the aerospace industry. The same manufacturing processes used for certain components of Ariane rockets are employed, delivering exceptional precision and uncompromising quality. Every detail has been refined and perfected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Just 5.65 kg for the Digit AiR Millenium Pack S. Measured precisely on an electronic scale! If you\u2019re skeptical, compare it with your own accordion\u2014you may be surprised.<\/b><\/p>\n

For reference, the Digit AiR Millenium includes a built-in wireless system and a lithium battery providing up to 24 hours of autonomy. Without the wireless system, it weighs only 5.4 kg<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Ultime<\/b><\/span> 3-voice acoustic model with 3 left-hand registers and 50 sounding notes weighs just <\/span>7.85 kg<\/b><\/span>. (By comparison, a 2-voice Super Junior 80-bass accordion weighs <\/span>7.6 kg<\/b><\/span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Absolutely. We have subtly redesigned the shape of the instrument, introducing cleaner lines and more defined contours while preserving the iconic Cavagnolo curves\u2014now refined and modernized to deliver even greater character.<\/b><\/p>\n

Using advanced design software approved for aerospace applications, we developed an ergonomically optimized body with exceptional precision. The left-hand cover and selector panel have been redesigned to fit seamlessly into the instrument, creating a flawless overall appearance.<\/p>\n

In Conclusion<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

As you can see, the Ultime Collection is the result of an extraordinary commitment to delivering the very best, while proudly preserving French manufacturing.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Designing instruments that are even lighter and more refined, without compromising range, sound quality, or playing experience, has become an increasingly demanding challenge. That is why the name Ultime<\/b> came naturally: it represents the technical, aesthetic, and qualitative pinnacle of Cavagnolo accordion craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

The Ultime Collection sets a new benchmark, offering musicians a genuine evolution with features found nowhere else. For those seeking a truly meaningful change, it delivers on every level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
