History
I aquired this after my step-grandfathers passing. He had been givien the accordian as a gift at the age of ten. He was 77 yrs of age at the time of his death.I have found that a man named "Enrico Bertini" manufactuered accordians from 1910-1940. I do know that he also stopped making accordians in 1940 when he began composing sheet music for this instrument.Thats where my knowledge ends.
