The last accordion shop in the Big Apple

Seems our pal Walter Kuhr is the last accordion dealer standing in New York City (if you can believe anything The New York Times prints these days).

We've been to Walter's shop, Main Squeeze, which is located at 19 Essex St. The shop just turned 10 -- happy birthday, Main Squeeze, and congratulations, Walter!

Walter's a really nice guy with some quality squeezeboxes to sell. Look him up next time you take a bite out of the Big Apple. (And be sure to hit The Pickle Guys when you're in the neighborhood for the most amazing selection of pickled vegetables you'll ever see in your life.)

I hear that the Bay area accordion stores are not very common these days too so you can come here to the central valley "The REAL California" and check out Jerry Venturi and his daughter Andrea`s shop in Madera or on the web at www.accordionexchange.com and see his stuff. Its worth checking out!
