What accordionists say
About
Passionate about the accordion since childhood, I first sought to understand how it works as a self-taught player, dismantling it, inspecting every detail and repairing my own instruments.
I then wanted to learn the right techniques and best practices. I travelled to Castelfidardo, in Italy, to train at the Victoria company, in the birthplace of accordion manufacturing worldwide.
Since September 2024, I have set up my workshop in Uzerche, in Corrèze, where I am delighted to welcome you.
