CASTAGNARI Accordions

Castagnari have been making accordions for three generations and today the family still resist going down the mass-production line, they want to remain a cottage industry - family run etc.. This explains the delays experienced by retailers. However, the high quality of their workmanship and versatility of their instruments makes the wait worthwhile - ask Sharon Shannon!
