Larry Larson

 Larry Larson loves the accordion!  He has been playing most of his life, so when he had the idea to sell and teach the instrument, opening a store seemed like the right thing to do.  He opened the small store in Glendale, California in 1956 and worked hard to build the teaching and service departments of the store.  Group accordion classes were extremely successful in the 1950s and early 1960s and Larry worked hard to provide the classes for students even after the boom was over.  For over 50 years Larry has been a cherished part of the music products industry, known as much for his bad jokes as for his infectious smile.
