About John Nolan

John was later introduced to Aldo Mencaccini of Bell Accordion, the master craftsman, tuner, technician, and mentor. Their valuable time together put John on the path to tuning, repairing, and complete servicing of accordions and the eventual establishing of his Buttons & Bellows shop.
