Hi. I'm trying to find out:
1) How many music schools that offer accordion lessons are in
operation in the US today OR
2) How many accordions were sold in the US last year
I found the following information pertaining to Question 2:
"Accordions are manufactured in many countries. Most production takes
place in Italy, Austria, Germany, France, Russia, Czechoslovakia &
China. Some small production is from the U.S.A. and other countries,
primarily using German or Italian components & assembling them.
The number of manufacturers fluctuates all the time. They range from
one person hand building an instrument at a time, to cottage
industires assembling components, to worker groups (co-operatives), to
fullscale factories. At one stage, manufacturers in Germany and Italy
were making approximately 750,000 instruments per year."

"'Trick Bothers' of Toledo, Ohio were the last accordion manufacturers
to operate in the United States"

I have emailed a US manufacturer of accordions in the hope of getting
nonproprietary information on total U.S. accordion sales in 2003. I
will let you know what I find out.

I got an email reply from a manager at the Hohner company who said
that statistics on U.S. sales of accordions have not be been compiled
for many years.
