Lucio uses real acoustic accordions only. Why should this be important? Many accordion players use electronic accordions (like Roland Accordions) that are lighter in weight, and they can even be programmed to play by themselves.
Lucio's accordions are real acoustic instruments made up on the inside with genuine metal reeds, beeswax and no electronics. Like a Scottish Bag Pipe, to make a real Accordion or Organetto produce an expressive and beautiful sound, the performer must use the muscles in the entire body.
Lucio can sustain 1.5 hours of continuous playing, which usually matches the length of time for the food service. The DJ begins to take charge of the music for the rest of the evening.
The presentation of speeches is an exceptional part of any event.
Inform your DJ to approach Lucio to pause his performance.
If possible, speeches more extended than 10 minutes are to be presented after Lucio has completed his musical performance.
Longer speeches may incur added service fees.
Lucio provides any combination of the following three serenading services:
- Reception Organetto - 1 hour
- Dinner Accordion - 1 hour
- Dinner Organetto - 30 minutes
It is worth noting that rarely can you find a musician who knows how to play both the Accordion and Organetto. It's usually one or the other.
Lucio plays the Accordion and Organetto.
The Accordion has a white piano keyboard on the right-hand side and 120 small round bass buttons on the left-hand side. Accordion music is excellent for creating a romantic ambiance during cocktails or dinner.

The Organetto has 12 round buttons on the right-hand side and two round bass buttons on the left-hand side. Organetto music is excellent for lifting the spirits of all ages with its Polkas and Tarantellas, especially in the reception hall as guests arrive.
