Excelsior

Excelsior is an accordion maker that began in New York City in 1924, founded by Italian immigrants, and became popular with leading American and jazz accordionists. A plant was opened in Castelfidardo, Italy, in 1948, and production moved fully to Castelfidardo in the early 1950s, where Excelsior accordions are still made. It is known for professional piano accordions such as the 940.
