1930s Excelsior: Information Sought…and Found!, Florida – USAby Rob Howard |
 |
| Accordionist Joe Romiti was for many years keen to know some technical details about an Excelsior accordion that once belonged to his late father, Tony Romiti. Purchased in the 1930s, Tony Romiti frequently used this accordion to accompany the then up-and-coming Perry Como, who was also a long time family friend. Joe this week wrote to Accordions Worldwide, who referred him to the very knowledgeable Steve Navoyosky. Thanks to Steve, Joe now has alot of information about this model, described by Steve as “an accordion set up longed for by the polka playing accordion player”. This model was similar to one that was built for Pietro Deiro in 1932. Joe comments: “I have no intention of selling this instrument. It will stay in the family as an heirloom”. Accordions Worldwide thanks Steve Navoyosky for his much appreciated assistance. |
