Nuovo Sito Web per Voci Armoniche, Annuncio Voci BlueStar - Italiaby Accordions Worldwide |
 |
 Il 1° giugno è andato online il nuovo sito web di Voci Armoniche, produttore di ance di alta qualità per armoniche e fisarmoniche acustiche dal 1935. Il nuovo sito web annuncia per la prima volta ance BlueStar di altissima qualità, diverse dalle ance del passato e da quelle di oggi. Il concetto che ha portato a BlueStar è una combinazione della storia della produzione di Voci Armoniche tramandata negli anni più anni di ricerca e sviluppo per creare innovazione; per ottenere la massima qualità possibile, superando le voci fatte a mano per potenzialità acustiche e funzionali. Lorenzo Antonelli, Presidente e CEO di Voci Armoniche scrive: "Le entusiasmanti ance BlueStar di altissima qualità usciranno nella seconda metà del 2021: il primo periodo di distribuzione in cui saranno disponibili per i nostri partner produttori di fisarmoniche. Al momento del rilascio e della distribuzione, verranno fornite ampie informazioni su queste nuove ance con gli aggiornamenti di questo nuovo sito web di Voci Armoniche." "Per chi lavora nel mondo della fisarmonica, per chi costruisce fisarmoniche, per i musicisti che suonano, questo nuovo sito offre contenuti che spiegano, informano, chiariscono e definiscono aspetti essenziali e concreti della fabbricazione delle ance. C'è una diversa e profonda attenzione ad ogni aspetto della manifattura, che, sviluppandosi da una solida tradizione, trova nuove evoluzioni proiettandosi nel futuro."
