This new book offers a glimpse into the world of Julio Giulietti and his line of accordions. Visit the early factory where this accordion was developed and view those improvements shown by the many photographs included and design drawings.

As one of the contributors, I am pleased to announce the first book about the Giulietti accordion entitled “The Giulietti Sound” which was written and designed by Sander Neijnens of the Netherlands. Join Sander Neijnens in his relentless search to discover how its unique sound was developed, his gaining inside information about Julio Giulietti, and why Giulietti artists are reluctant to part with their instrument. This book tells the story about a search for the secret of the special sound of the Giulietti accordion. It contains interviews with the people who built the instruments in Castelfidardo, Italy, as well as with people who play the Giulietti accordion for many years, and people who knew Julio Giulietti (1910-1996). The book also contains a CD with twelve pieces played on the Giulietti accordion, ranging from 1965 to 2005.

In addition to this 95 page hardbound book, a very high quality CD is provided which features the ‘Giulietti Sound’ by Giulietti artists. Listen to Leon Sash, Bill Cosby, Karen Street, John Torcello, Joseph Macerollo, Guy Klucevsek, and Todd Hildreth.

This is a ‘must have’ addition to every accordionist’s library and CD collection, and I highly recommend it.
