The Instrument
The Accordina has 44 keys on a chromatic keyboard. The Bandoneon choosen for sampling is an historic Alfred Arnold of 50s. 40 keys on the right hand, 32 notes in left hand
RECORDING
I recorded the Bandoneon with a Neumann TLM103 large diaphragm microphone thru an amazing Apogee Symphony I/O converter with its own Mic Preamp card for the best audio resolution and musical details. All the 440 samples are in 96kHz/24bit resolution!
ANALYSIS
By a careful analysis of the sound I found a great variation of the harmonic spectrum during the dynamic range of the reeds. This fact depends on the high quality of the hand made reeds of the instrument.
Yes, I tried to reproduce this amazing feature!
