AirAkkoLight
Airflow Lightweight Accordion – Lightweight solutions for the airflow in the accordion’s sound production
Sub-project 1: Research into weight-reduced designs for the sound-producing assemblies in the accordion
The aim of this follow-up project to AkkoLight is to optimise the bellows and reed blocks. The target parameters are to achieve a weight reduction of at least 15% in the bellows and reed blocks, whilst ensuring that the function, playability and sound, as well as the appearance and feel of the instruments, remain as similar as possible to current instruments or are improved.
Funding: BMFTR
Project duration: 01/2024 – 12/2025
AkkoLight
Lightweight Accordion – Development of lightweight solutions in accordion manufacturing
Sub-project 1: Investigations into the structural design of lightweight accordion sub-assemblies
The aim of the project is to investigate the potential for weight reduction in individual accordion sub-assemblies, and to develop and evaluate prototype solutions based on alternative materials and designs derived from them.
Funding: BMFTR
Project duration: 10/2022 – 11/2024
AkkoRe
Digital reconstruction of accordions
Faced with the challenge of digitally reconstructing existing, fully functional instruments and producing the relevant technical documentation, the company approached the HTWK. Specifically, the instruments in question are the Weltmeister Cassotto 374 piano accordion and the Weltmeister Romance 874 button accordion.
Funding/Client: FTZ project on behalf of Weltmeister Akkordeon Manufaktur GmbH
Project duration: 05/2021 – 09/2023
