Special Features
Treble
Keyboard:
| |
Titano treble keyboards are custom fabricated
for maximum responsiveness, exciting vitality
and tonal performance. |
| |
Precision-fitted guides are surfaced with
a specially formulated, lubricated material
selected for its non binding properties. |
| |
A dual suspension key pinning system provides
the critical balance needed for "velvet"
response, swift action, and perfect alignment. |
| |
Pin point weighting at the front of each
key assures unprecedented balance over the
entire keyboard. |
| |
Rigid duraluminum "L" extrusion
furnishes complete dimensional stability
and absolute warp-resistance over the full
length of the keyboard. |
| |
Each key is made of hardwood covered with
heavy prime celluloid, matched for uniformity
of color and beauty. |
| |
Resilient, air filled felt bumpers provide
a thick cushion under each key to eliminate
mechanical sounds. |
Reeds:
| |
Titano reeds of vibrant
Swedish blue steel are hand-fitted, riveted
on precision duraluminum plates and individually
tuned for brilliant voicing. |
| |
Seasoned kidskin leathers,
hand rolled and hand cut in graded thicknesses,
conform exactly to the reeds' size requirements
for instant response. |
| |
Larger leathers are reinforced
with spring steel boosters, carefully applied
to eliminate any possible sluggishness due
to size of leather. |
| |
Blocks for the treble
reeds are firmly anchored for uniform tension
over their entire length, retaining their
original airtight seating for maximized
compression and thus directing more air
at the specific reed in use. |
| |
Reed blocks are multi-coated
with varnish and polished to a lustrous
finish, much like a piano soundboard, to
eliminate the potential for warping and
to enrich tonal quality. |
Valves:
| |
Three-piece pad assembly
is made of choice base material, carefully
fitted with heavy felt and fine suede. |
| |
Valves are individually
fitted for perfect, self-gasketed seating,
complete dependability, and sound-proofed
performance. |
| |
Rods are precision contoured
and polished to resist corrosive elements
and for reliable operation. |
| |
Plates and slides are
burnished to a chromed sleekness, which
permits positive seal and surpasses self-lubrication
for friction-free performance. |
Bellows:
| |
Extra deep fold construction
provides maximum uninterrupted air swirl
and requires less exertion when playing. |
| |
Rounded chromed steel
corners are professional-type, selected
for strength and long-term retention of
highly polished beauty. |
| |
All folds have heavy,
textured tape reinforcement with cross-knit
process for long-wearing quality. |
| |
External hardwood frames
are carefully fitted and adjusted on each
instrument, to assure the absolute hermetic
seal necessary for flawless compression. |
Bass Machine:
| |
Piston thrust is instantaneous
and set uniformly for free gliding operation,
without any sluggishness. |
| |
Precise registration
of bass machine includes regulating of pin-play
for immediate response and uniformity in
all octaves, which will require less service. |
| |
Curvature of upright
pins is calculated to instantly activate
bass response to slightest finger pressure. |
| |
Chrome-polished duraluminum
rods and friction free brass pins are selected
for strength, corrosion-rejecting properties,
and trouble-free performance. |
| |
Thick felt of air-padded
porosity silences all mechanical noise at
contact points within bass machine. |
| |
Multi-ply sound-proofed
bass board is a patented formulation which
permits fitting to micrometer tolerances
for efficient and silent mechanical operation. |
Materials:
| |
The nearly 6,000 parts
of a Titano are all of carefully selected
materials, painstakingly crafted to produce
a superb musical instrument and provide
the greatest possible value in each model's
price range. |
| |
Fine, pre-cut woods are
patiently stored for years under rigid temperature,
humidity, and air current control for full
seasoning cycle. After careful inspection
prior to use, only the flawless woods are
accepted for Titano production. |
| |
An average of 300 square
inches (750 square centimeters) of prime
suede and kidskin is used for each instrument.
Leathers are dated and ideally stored for
additional aging before selection is made
for use in a Titano accordion. |
| |
Chrome hardware is of
the finest quality with heavy plating for
long-lasting beauty and durability. |
| |
Celluloid, specially
formulated to Titano's standards for extra
heavy grade with deeper color pigmentation,
permits the triple sanding and buffing required
for the rich finish of these accordions.
Celluloid, too, requires years of aging
under ideal conditions to eliminate its
tendency towards shrinkage. |
Special Features:
| |
Titano's gravitational
center suspension eliminates all swivel
and bounce through scientific distribution
of proportioned weight. Complete bellows
control, without the handicap of weight,
simplifies even intricate dynamics and makes
a Titano feel even lighter than it is. |
| |
Integrated keyboard back
cover of luxurious material is textured
for slip proof comfort against the body. |
| |
Bellows-Guard patented
feature protects bellows completely. No
other guard provides this degree of freedom
in bellowing. |
