In honor of Ronny Setniker’s life, his daughter Shelby suggested the monies raised at A World of Accordions Museum (AWAM) recent memorial event be used as a scholarship to benefit a promising accordionist who has expressed interest studying accordion repair at the institution. Ron Setniker, who died in 2018, was a professional accordionist, a popular entertainer, and active in many aspects of the accordion world. Sixteen year old Aiden Gort of South Range, WI, has been chosen as recipient of this award enabling six two-hour apprenticeships at the museum and Harrington’s book, “A Technician’s Manual for Understanding Procedures”. His studies will include familiarity with major members of the accordion family, their quality criteria, and basic handling and repair procedures. |
