Excelsior Symphony Grand

[Boeriths]

Hi, i am from Denmark, and the Proud owner of an Excelsior Symphony Grand - made in USA.
I am Also a collecter of accordions, my accordion museum counts 1300 accordions.
I am also a Musician and i live by teaching and Playing the accordion.
My favorite accordion brand is the Danish built Solo Sonor (only 41 units made!) and the excelsior.
I like the old excelsiors a lot and my favorite is the Symphony Grand from the late 1950s.
Can anyone in here tell me about the Excelsior history (more than you Can read on their HomePage!) and speciallly about the Symphony grand!?

Best regards from Denmark

Hi Boeriths, a very warm welcome to the forum.
My Danish is rather poor but with my Dutch knowledge I can navigate your website.
Please tell us more of how you come to be the curator of such a huge collection of instruments.
