The Petosa Accordion Company based in Washington state celebrates 100 years in business with the recent publication of their new book, “Petosa Accordions, 1922-2022, An American Accordion Story.” This beautiful book celebrates the remarkable legacy of four generations of the Carlo Petosa family of Seattle, highly skilled Italian-American artisans who have been in the accordion industry for one-hundred years.

Short review by our Editor Rita Barnea: “I recently received my copy of “Petosa Accordions: An American Accordion Story” a unique and detailed account of the development of the Petosa Accordion Company and the accordion. I was amazed at how interesting and concise the book is. There are few books on the accordion and this book educates the reader carefully and thoroughly. The photos of the people involved in the Petosa company and the important accordionists which contributed to its development and popularity are wonderful to see. What a great learning experience! It is not only for accordionists but also for any person who is interested in and values the dedication and devotion it requires to build a company. I think this was successfully achieved. The book will be a great addition to your library of accordion information and also a unique gift for any occasion.”
