Meet the Business Owner

Arthur W.

Business Owner

Master Craftsman and owner of Accordion Connection LLC.

Arthur began playing the accordion at age 11 after 5 years on the piano. He became an accordion teacher in 1957 and then studio owner for many years in Manchester, NH. He learned tuning and repair with the technicians at Giulietti Accordion Company in New York. After closing his studio operation in 1984 he maintained his career as a professional performer in addition to repairing and tuning accordions for his customers. The repair business grew so much that he took on an apprentice in 1999. He also trained the 2 technicians who are on staff with us now. He now helps accordion players with their purchase of new or used accordions. As a player himself he understands their wants and needs. He is very proud of his own line of new accordions from Italy — Acctone. Superior quality accordions at a reasonable price. He welcomes you to call with your accordion questions.
