Hyde Accordions - About Us

I have just launched my new range of Button Accordions and Flutinas that are the result of 24 years of research and development. This has culminated in combining my skills and expertise as a master custom accordion maker, along with incorporating the use of Australian native, exotic and introduced (pest) species of timbers.

Over the past 24 years, a lot of assistance has been given to me, by many people, into the development of the first Australian Accordion, and thereafter, a range of fine instruments.

Thanks have to go to:

- the Australia Council who gave me the grant that got me into making accordions,

- Craft Australia who gave me very good P.R.,

Peter (Stormy) Hyde in the Aldgate Workshop

- Trad & Now: Australia’s national folk magazine www.tradandnow.com

- People like John Meredith, Arthur Bower, Paul Gooding, and Peter Ellis; and to all those customers and friends who pushed me into making new designs that they themselves wanted – their assistance and patience has been immeasurable.

Having taken up residence in the township of Aldgate, amidst the picturesque Adelaide Hills, the new line of “Hyde Accordions” (that are second to none!!) are being produced for the Australian and export markets.

I will continue to repair and tune your instruments, combining the benefits of this new creative environment, and a very well organised studio and workshop.

Email us with your postal address and we will send you our updated data CD.
