Meet Philadelphia’s First Family of Squeezeboxes

In the historic district of Philadelphia stands one of the world’s largest accordion stores. This squeezebox epicenter is owned and operated by Michael Bulboff, who spends his days selling and repairing instruments with a crew of young experts who are passionate about sharing this oft-forgotten musical instrument with a new generation. But Bulboff’s most important student is his 3-year-old son. In teaching him the ins and outs of the accordion, Bulboff hopes to instill in him a lifelong passion for music.

I’ve been watching their teaching videos, my draw dropped open at the beginning when I realised that I recognised the place and the person talking

I'm not a fan of accordion music myself, but I'm in awe of the craftsmanship that's employed in the creation of the instruments, enough that I just may stop in next time I go to the city.

I wish that Liberty Bellows were near me. I would be there all the time! Love you guys!

I’m a big fan I have shopped there.. they have the best prices out there as of 2023. If they keep it up, they’ll be one of the last accordion stores in America.
