Accordionology

We just wrapped up an amazing week with Aleksandar Rašković who visited all the way from Serbia! He had a lot of students come to take lessons from him, and it really showed just how big this accordion community is. Thank you to everyone who participated, we really appreciate your support! Thank you Aleksandar!

CBS News correspondent Rashad Williams came to our shop a couple of weeks ago to take a short tour. We demonstrated a bit of what we do and why we do it! If you’d like to see the full video, just search online for “CBS Accordionology”.

The easy version...

We are so happy to be a part of this young man’s life! He has progressed so much through the years, and now we are lucky enough to help him again and acquire his newest instrument! You can see that his accordions have grown with him :) George Voorhees is now set up with a gorgeous chambered convertor Fisitalia Bayan-P2, and ready to tackle any musical compositions in his path! This instrument is in GREAT hands now 🪗

Tonight, Dec 4th at 8pm, we will be featured on WRFG 89.3FM. A holiday hour of classic Christmas songs arranged for accordion trio and performed LIVE! Featuring Kyle Turner on the lovely double chamber Fantini accordion, Dan Coy on guitar, and Scott Glazer on bass. All hosted by the incredible David Chamberlain, who has the most perfect radio voice we have ever heard :) Don’t miss it!

We had a fun trio performance this past weekend at the Chamblee Library, featuring Kyle Turner on accordion, Dan Coy on guitar, and Scott Glazer on bass! It was the first time these guys played together, and we’re sure it won’t be their last :) Support your local library, and visit the Chamblee Library and their wonderful staff!

Please join us this coming Saturday October 18th, at the Chamblee Library from 11am-1pm! The trio playing from 11am-Noon will feature: Kyle Turner on accordion, Dan Coy on guitar, and Scott Glazer on bass.
