Meet the Accordionology Team

FOUNDER

When Jack couldn’t find a shop to repair his accordion within a day’s drive, he decided to learn how to do it himself.

For years he had worked on his own guitars & various instruments. With that background, and some generous help from Bob Tedrow , Ike Milligan and George Bachich’s accordionrevival.com … he took off in a reed-diculous new direction.

Word got out! Players started finding Jack!

Then, budding accordion-fixers started showing up! Now we’re a team, and we’d be “pleased to get you squeezing”.

SALES and SERVICE MANAGER

Kyle is a pianist who, once he picked up an accordion… couldn’t put it back down!

“When I felt the reeds resonating from the accordion into my chest, I realized how powerful these instruments can be. I was immediately hooked! The accordion lets you actually feel what you play.”

Kyle brings a wealth of expertise to our shop, combining a Master’s Degree in Music Performance from BGSU with a meticulous approach to accordion repair. His passion for fixing and restoring shines through in every project, ensuring each instrument is given the utmost care. Beyond repairs, Kyle’s talents extend to arranging music for the accordion, website design, photography, video demos, and event support. We’re fortunate to have him as a key part of our team!

RESTORATION RESOURCE

For nearly 5 years as tech and service manager, Stephanie created and refined our techniques and skill-sets for repairs, customer communications, and admin.

Stephanie is now on a different career-track… after equipping us to carry on!

Stephi will miss the shop (but not the long commute through Atlanta traffic) -and hopes to remain available as a resource for restoration advice & assistance.
