Excelsior
Built at the Castelfidardo factory in the tradition of its renowned musical instruments.
Story:
Excelsior was founded in New York in 1924 by Egisto and Roberto Pancotti, nephews of the first accordion maker of Macerata but long-time residents of Castelfidardo. Emigrants in 1920, they initially had found employment at Galizi, then had gone on to work with the Giulietti; on their initiative Excelsior Manifacturing Company and Pancordion were born, which in the years between the two wars allied themselves with Giulietti, managing to establish themselves successfully in the large market of the major American Atlantic coast cities. It stands out for the quality of the product, which soon becomes the most famous and the most played by the major American artists. The greatest success of Excelsior accordions is achieved in the postwar period, when they become a “must” of every great orchestra: Charles Magnante, Art Van Damme, Pietro Deiro Jr., are the most famous accordionists in history and play Excelsior.
In 1948, the Castelfidardo factory in Italy was built, starting mass production and the export of Excelsior instruments to all corners of the world.
Vollero leverages its strong ties with the American market by importing a range of electric guitars under their brand. The Dyno is undoubtedly well made and shows a certain originality in every detail. Practically all the components are original. Its overall look is typical of the 1965-1968 generation, like the Galanti Grand Prix or the Hagström H-II/III. But it did not achieve the same success and has remained a rarity, often unknown.
