22 Years.
Before Covid, we had two thousand visitors Now, we always had accordions as favorite instruments and started with only a few dozen that have now expanded to fourteen hundred in this location.
Seven hundred and fifty in reserve and three hundred and fifty that have been recently added as the finest examples, most beautiful of antique accordions.
Looking at the beauty of the instruments, their external artistry, the inlays of abalone and celluloid is remarkable in itself.
Our concert hall is a noble setting.
Formerly a Presbyterian sanctuary, it seats a thousand people.
There are perfect acoustics all the way through.
And it is our concert hall for the artists from throughout the world who come here to perform.
This is the way that the building actually continues to exist.
We're one of the big repair houses in the nation, and we restore instruments in various conditions from almost impossible defeat to concert instruments.
For people who are aficionados as well as artists, they come from around the world and from museums as well.
