Korg FISA Suprema C

[KeysFla]

I would not want anything larger than my FR4x. As far as weight, have no concern as I play seated with my straps loose on my shoulders. Oddly enough, the FR1x is less comfortable as the size doesn’t rest as comfortably when seated like the FR4x.
May go into the direction of FISA C. When I checked a couple weeks ago, the back orders are six weeks out.

And it looks like it's only $1000 less than their flagship Fisa. $7000. That's an awful lot of cash for a mid-size digital accordion with reduced feature sets. I would only consider the full-size for that relatively marginal difference in price, but I understand your use case.

Especially for the CBA version the size difference is important because the full-size version is really too large for a CBA. The compact version appears to have a better size. Of course real-world hands-on experience will be needed...

Sounds like you’re curious enough to try one, which brings up an important question: Are there dealers in your area who keep a demonstrator model on hand?

In the USA, some dealers do, some don’t.

I'm not in a hurry, but I am going to be at the World Music Festival in Innsbruck (May 29 - June 1). That's a huge competition for accordion ensembles and orchestras. There are always demos and information and sales booths from major accordion vendors. I expect there to be demos by Korg and chances to try some hands-on.
