No. The accordion was first invented in Germany in 1822. From there it became popular in many European countries such as Italy, France, Sweden, and Ireland, to name a few. The accordion also became popular in Latin American music, Canadian music, and Cajun music. It is even used in parts of Africa. To my knowledge, the accordion was never popular in Korea.
The accordion can be played in almost any kind of music such as jazz, rock, pop and of course traditional music. The accordion today has enjoyed a renewed interest worldwide in countries such as France, Italy, Ireland and the United States. The accordion is very popular in France where it has been played in French musette since the 1890s. Louisiana is the home of Cajun music where the accordion also plays a central role in this music genre.
I have one also. The only information on the instrument is "Belcanto", "Made in Italy" and "L/606/7" I can't find any record of an accordion manufacturer called Belcanto.
I've been researching old Soprani Inc. accordions, which seem to have been sold in America in the 1930's, likely made in Italy. The answer to your question completely depends on the condition of your accordion. If it is in perfect condition cosmetically on the outside, that doesn't mean it is worth anything to an accordion collector who wishes to play it. Old accordions are typically in need of a great deal of work on the inside to make them reliably playable and in tune. If there is any rust on the reeds, the instrument is likely worth very little, as rust is like cancer and renders the reeds useless. Rust on reeds cannot be properly removed. The other two expensive issues are the wax inside, which typically breaks down over time, and reed tuning. Unless the instrument has been waxed in the last few years and tuned, it will cost a minimum of $1500-$2500 to re-wax and tune. If, however, the instrument is cosmetically nearly perfect, and the interior looks clean and rust-free, collectors may wish to purchase it and restore it. In that case, it may be worth $200-$600.
I have now discovered where i can purchase a vignoni philarmonic 30 accordion...the best place being from Vignoni direct in Italy,...once the order has been placed it may take a few weeks to be made and delivered...price being around £4000-45000.
No. Early harpsichords were developed around 1500 in Italy, but accordions weren't developed until the 1820s in either Germany or Austria, depending on whom you ask.
Probably nothing, seeing as the Originals were manufactured in Germany. Probably a European knock-off, lots of those around to fool gullible American collectors.
