Magnante, the owner, is the son of Mickey Magnante, the accordionist who opened the business in Framingham MA in the 1960s. David Magnante took over the business in 1984 after attending Boston College. He moved the shop to Fort Myers in 1971, opening its first location downtown in Patio de Leon. David makes sure to give each customer a personal experience by running a hands-on business and being in the shop almost everyday. He caters to musicians of all levels, from beginners to professionals, and his selection of accordions is one of the best in the country.
