Beltuna Leader V Accordion for sale
Posted on: 6 September 2026
I am selling my beloved Beltuna accordion.
I originally bought this instrument for the Cirque Du Soleil tour. It was transported professionally by the company in their tour truck and so remains in almost perfect condition.
Currently, this model sells for 13000€, as you can see here. I am selling mine, in excellent condition, for 8500€
I’ll cover my personal thoughts on the instrument and then give you the technical specifications:
It sounds beautiful, clear, and very balanced (see videos below). You can tell right away when you hold and play the instrument that it is high quality.
And then the bellows!…. I’m guessing a lot of the cost of this instrument must have gone into R&D for the bellows because they are so, so smooth – they ‘glide’ in and out and are a real pleasure to play.
Finally, I must mention the dark and rich Cassotto sound. This is special on this instrument because of the amplisound feature, which enlarges the chamber.
These are my personal musings on the instrument. You are welcome to try the accordion – it is with my friend Romano (who knows a lot more about accordions than I do) in North London.
Here are some videos, played by Romano (because he’s also a better accordionist than me!!). In the second and third videos, we are trying to demonstrate the amplisound feature, but I’m not sure if the iPhone microphone captures it. Nevertheless, I think the quality of the instrument comes through.
The fourth video is the same model, but ot my exact instrument
Below the videos are the official technical specifications and some photos.
Now for the technical spec. I don’t claim to understand everything here, because I’m not an accordion manufacturing expert. Most of it comes from Beltuna’s own wording on this model.
