Martin Accordions

Go behind-the-scenes of Martin Accordions in Scott, Louisiana

Posted on April 10, 2015April 9, 2015 by Julie Miller

 

In October of last year, Zydeco Crossroads toured Martin Accordions in Scott, Louisiana. The family-owned business has been manufacturing and repairing accordions for thirty years, led by “Junior” Martin, his son Anthony and daughter Penny.

In this behind-the-scenes video of the shop Anthony walks us around the showroom, explaining the differences in accordion styles and pointing out the unique features of the Martin accordion. In the workshop we see how detailed the process of making an accordion is and Anthony tells us what makes him so proud of their product.

Take the tour below and then learn about how rubboards are made here.
