Markku Lepistö writes: "I focused specifically on early sales channels for accordions, early performers on the accordion and aspects of public appreciation of the instrument.

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."
