Houston, Texas – One brand has transformed the accordion from typical to topical by originating blends of color, designs and quality to create the one-and-only, Gabbanelli Accordion. Its visual and tonal appeal has drawn millions to adore the world’s most recognized accordion.
Since 1961, John Gabbanelli and his family have revolutionized the industry by building the ultimate accordion. Each instrument is hand made by professional factory-trained artisans that collaborate to produce the finest instrument. From shaping the Italian wood and individually placing every reed, to adding the base color and signature Gabbanelli elements – each phase is carefully done to guarantee the sound, design and precision of a Gabbanelli Accordion.
Because Gabbanelli has their own factory, they have the opportunity to offer customers an array of Gabbanelli designed accordions or the unique experience of customization. Customers can custom-design their exclusive accordion by choosing colors, patterns or integrating their own designs and logos. Each accordion, designed by Gabbanelli or the individual, features signature elements such as trademark colors, distinctive Swarovski crystal designs and the signature emblem.
In addition to a great product, the Gabbanelli family has mastered personal customer service in a welcoming and inspiring environment. Their one-and-only retail showroom is a true Houston mom-and-pop shop where you find Mike and Elia Gabbanelli (President and Vice President) personally guiding and assisting customers. The walls showcase the legions of fans, from international stars to neighborhood musicians, who have left posters with inscriptions and kudos to the family. The wall-to-wall display of Gabbanelli pride demonstrates the loyalty of fans and the legendary status of the company.
Whether you are the musician or the audience, a Gabbanelli always captures your attention. As the world’s most recognized accordion since 1961, Gabbanelli has become a true music icon.
