Duo-Art Fan Accordion System at AMICA Convention
By Bruce Grimes

I'm doing a workshop again at the AMICA convention about fan accordion
Duo-Arts and I'm bringing my collection of fan accordion system
variants.  If you have one kicking around and could bring it, I'd
really like to see if there is a greater variety than I know of at
present, and if anyone can add to our knowledge about the production
run of these (circa 1928 to 1938).

And did inventor Tolbert Cheek have anything to do with it?  Might it
have been filched from Welte or vice versa?  Ampico involvement before
the financial collapse and sale to Aeolian been virtually ruled out.

Please let me know if you can bring a fan copy or pictures.
