Alex Meixner - Solloni Supreme I
This accordion was custom designed by Alex in collaboration with Carnegie Accordion Company. He shared that purple is both his and his wife's favorite color, and he wanted an instrument that would stand out on stage and be instantly recognizable as his -- complete with his name prominently displayed on the grille. His fans affectionately nicknamed his Solloni accordion "The Purple Polka Eater." Alex selected the Supreme I model for its non-chambered design, which complements his musical style and repertoire with a bright, musette-tuned sound. He chose Solloni for their exceptional quality, precision, and craftsmanship, ensuring the instrument can withstand the demands of his high-energy live performances.
