PIGINI Italy
A long tradition in innovation
It started in the late 1960s. All over the world, leading musicians and conservatory teachers joined forces. Mogens Ellegaard, the Danish accordionist who died in 1995, was the initiator and spokesperson of this group.
He visited various factories with a wish list. Only one manufacturer was willing to cooperate… and that was PIGINI. This choice has brought the factory to what it is today.
On June 6, 1946, Filippo Pigini registered the firm “F.lli Pigini di Filippo” with the Chamber of Commerce of Ancona. His partners were: Adriano, Gino, Luigi and Marino Pigini.
Their enthusiasm and need to make a living made their company one of the most dynamic in the field of accordions.
Deliveries to musicians in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Argentina, Egypt and Pakistan showed the international spirit of PIGINI from the beginning. The company was run for many years by Gino Pigini who at the age of 14 was already an expert “vociarolo” (reed maker).
He believed in young people with new ideas and the will to learn. He quickly formed a team of exceptional artisans, and to this day his work and philosophy are the foundation for the excellence of PIGINI’s products.
His legacy of joy, confidence in the future and persistence in the pursuit of their goals underpin the superior quality of PIGINI’s instruments.
