My principal source database was the digital newspaper archive maintained by the Finnish National Library, where I could search for and compile a wealth of information about instrument sellers, instrument repairers and accordion builders, among other things. I also cover the acccordion history at the height of the folk education movement. A key figure in this book is the German-Danish-Finnish accordionist Martin Paul (1843–1893), who created a signifcant career as a performing artist and an accordion teacher in Finland between 1879 and 1893." |
