• W233637512 abstract "Button accordions made by Italian craftsmen and sold to the Irish market in New York City are the subject of a research project that grew out of a lecture I give on the McNulty family. The McNultys, based in New York, were the hottest Irish act on the East Coast from the late 1930s through the 1950s. The button accordion has always been a popular folk instrument for Irish music, and Ann McNulty--who learned to play in County Roscommon, Ireland, before she emigrated here in 1910--had five of these amazing little instruments, each tuned in a different key. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Two of the major accordion brands were Baldoni and Walters. Ma McNulty had one Baldoni, two Walters, and two Superiors. Superior was a small company run by Frank Umbriaco that made primarily piano accordions. My colleagues and I have only been able to locate five of their button accordions. All three of these companies had retail shops in Manhattan at the following addresses: Baldoni Bartoli Company, 60 Mulberry Street (1908); Frank Walters, 1504 3rd Avenue; and Superior Accordion Company, 205 East 116th Street (1932) and 171 East 116th Street (1938). The Iorio Company manufacturers also built some Irish accordions. They were located at Baxter Street (1907), Prince and Broadway (1919), and the ninth floor of the Carl Fischer Building at 80th Street and 4th Avenue (1935-47). [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] These Irish accordions--or boxes, as they are commonly called--usually had ten keys or twenty notes; push (in) and pull (out) were different notes. They also had two to four bass keys, four to six sets of reeds, and elaborate engraved decorations with a harp, shamrocks, the Irish and American flags, and the player's name all in rhinestones. Some had more sets of reeds and more buttons. The double-row instruments with nineteen or twenty-one keys started to become more popular in the 1940s. The second row is tuned a half note from the main row: for example, D/C#. This allows the player more options for variations and the ability to play easily in more than one key, with a full chromatic scale available. Many of these instruments have been photographed and documented, and others have been overhauled and are still being played today. The story of who actually built these instruments, however, remains obscure. The name 'Walters is not Italian. Who was Frank Walters, and why was he in the Irish accordion business? It needs to be confirmed that some of the early (1920s and '30s) boxes were built by the Iorio Company, which manufactured mostly piano accordions at its factory in New York City. At its peak, the Iorio Company employed about eighty workers building accordions. …" @default.
