This place is amazing! It’s one of only 2 accordion museums in the whole country. The owner Paul is friendly, full of information and excited to share. The instruments are gorgeous and we even got to hear Paul play. The museum if free to get in but they run on donations. It’s completely worth whatever you can afford to give. There is also a store where you can buy a new accordion and you can have yours tuned up if you need to. Highly recommend.

My father has had the same accordion that he got in 1990 in Germany and became a very sentimental instrument in our family. It sat for a couple of years and required repair because of it. We took it to Paul to get it repaired for my father’s birthday present. Paul was able to diagnose the problem immediately and repair the accordion in a timely manner. My father’s accordion is incredibly rare considering its model and age, but Paul was able to repair it with care and it now plays like new. It has been a sincere blessing that Paul was able to fix this sentimental accordion for our family. The shop itself has an incredible display of accordions, a rare sight to see these days. I would recommend this shop to everyone!

My fiance and I met Paul today at his wonderful accordion museum. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. We experienced a tremendous amount of history and we even got to listen to Paul play and educate on us on the accordion! Highly recommend checking this museum out!

My mom randomly found this place and asked me if I wanted to go with her. She used to play the accordion when she was a kid(mid 60’s). When she said “accordion museum”, my first thought was: “There’s an accordion museum?!” And my second thought was:”What could possibly be so interesting about this?” I decided to indulge my mom. We traveled 1 hr 40 mins to get here and it felt like forever. Just driving in the middle of nowhere. LOL. But, when we got there- I was impressed. Paul was so nice and so kind, taking the time to talk to us and find out what brought us there. He played us a song and even let my mom sit down and play a few accordions. (She almost took one home, but decided not to).There are accordions wall to wall, top to bottom-all different kinds of makes and models. I was actually surprised at how beautiful some of them are. Who would have thought that learning about accordions would be fun? Definitely recommend you check this place out( and plan a day out if you’re traveling a long distance)!

Wonderful place to visit if you have any connection to accordions whatsoever in your part or family’s past…heck, I’d go even further that it’s an amazing place period. Paul loves to share stories and walk you around the showroom - it’s a historical bonanza of accordions from the past 100 years and the sheer view of wall to wall squeezeboxes is quite the sight to behold. I went back again with my 11 yo son and he was amazed as well. And yes - there is an annex room with accordions for sale. It is free but there is a donation box if you are so moved:)

Paul shares the history of some of the accordians. The pieces are interesting on their own, but then when he ties some to historical events, it's very inspiring. We purchased his book of stories and touched Laurence Welk's accordian.

Visited museum Nov. 2,2019 . My first impression was ! W O W ! Mr. Ramunni made me feel like I was in 7th heaven! His collection of antique accordions (Made me feel older then I am). His collection of accordions available for purchase is also "eye popping". I don't know if he believed me, but I told him I am definitely coming back again with my pockets "loaded".

I saw Paul at the Roe Jan Library and wanted to visit his museum. My husband and I rode over today and had the best time. The accordions are beautiful and Paul is interesting and entertaining. A trip I would recommend to anyone.

Paul was amazing. My son and I visited Paul today. It was my son's 16th birthday on Thursday's and all he wanted was an accordion. I called to make arrangements for a tour and it was beyond what we thought it would be. My son smiled ear to ear the whole time and has been smiling and trying to learn twinkle little star since. Thank you for sharing some of your passion with us today. That is very rear and we appreciate it very much. Mostly I thank you for making my day special with my son and creating this unforgettable memory.

The Founder's Hall Senior Band visited the New England Accordion Museum and had the best time ever. The creator of the museum, Paul Ramunni, was a delightful host with a great personality and so much talent on the accordion. We not only got a thorough history of the accordion but saw samples of everything and heard the most fascinating stories. We also danced to the juke box, listened to a concert by Paul and then played our concert for Paul while he recorded us. We were so involved in the day we also had lunch brought in and laughed and learned all afternoon. Recommended on the highest level. There is no better advocate for anything than Paul.
