  Caroline Hunt presents some of her extensive collection of antique accordions and memorabilia at this July’s Hebridean Celtic Festival, Stornaway, Scotland. Caroline, who has been collecting accordions for the last 20 years, says: “One of my early Russian accordions was used in the film ‘Anna Karenena’ with Jude Law and Kiera Knightly. There are button accordions designed to look like piano accordions as the American bandleader didn’t want Frosini, who played a button accordion, to look different to the piano accordions! “There are also early examples of accordions made by Paolo Soprani, who founded the Italian accordion industry and also numerous German Hohners – a Hohner Sax that looks like a Saxophone but is played like a cross between a melodeon and a mouth organ! "And I also have a Hohner Shand Morino which was designed by Sir Jimmy Shand with Morino at the Hohner Factory in Germany, specifically for Scottish music.” Caroline Hunt’s exhibition of antique accordions is at The Masonic Hall, 55 Kenneth Street, Stornoway, on Friday July 21st and Saturday 22nd, from 10am - 4pm. Car parking and refreshments are available. For further information email: accordionbook@huntc.fsbusiness.co.uk |
