PIGINI Italy
A long tradition of innovation
It started in the late 1960s. Around the world, leading musicians and conservatory teachers joined forces. Mogens Ellegaard, the Danish accordionist who died in 1995, was initiator and spokesman for this group.
With a wish list, he visited several factories. Only one manufacturer proved 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 company “F.lli Pigini di Filippo” with the Ancona Chamber of Commerce. His partners were: Adriano, Gino, Luigi and Marino Pigini.
Their enthusiasm and need to earn a living made their business one of the most dynamic in the accordion field.
Deliveries to musicians in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Argentina, Egypt and Pakistan showed PIGINI’s international spirit from the beginning.
The company was run for many years by Gino Pigini, who at the age of 14 was already an expert “vociarolo” (cane maker). He believed in young people with new ideas and the will to learn.
He soon formed a team of exceptional artisans, and to this day his work and philosophy are the basis for the top quality of PIGINI’s products.
His legacy of joy, confidence in the future and persistence in pursuing their goals underlie the superior quality of PIGINI’s instruments.

For many decades now, PIGINI makes world-class accordions. This is because of the constant interaction between musicians, teachers and PIGINI. One builds hi-tech accordions in a traditional, artisanal manner and to a modern standard.
By always being inventive and fully engaged in the latest developments, PIGINI is able to build an instrument with a completely unique feel and dynamics. As a result, it meets both the conviction of the music and the wishes of the musician.
