Al I went to see if I can find anything in Russian. Indeed, I found this address: http://berkovich-zametki.com/Nomer47/Janovskaja1.htm Where it says: "A musician from Russian Itzhak Pirozhnikov introduced young Tel-Aviv to important for music teachers instrument - Concertina, a variation of..." Unfortunately when I went to the site, nothing about Pirozhnikov could be found. An article is available in English, just click on "translate". I sent email to them with the inquiry but I'm sure there are more professional searchers among concertina players, who can dig into this info and find more. P.S. Pirozhnikov means loosely "Bakerson".

Many thanks for your efforts. It may be that he followed the same route as Raphael to appear on American Music Hall. His recording is amongst Alexander Prince archives on Cylinder- USA site Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene S. Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Many thanks for your efforts. It may be that he followed the same route as Raphael to appear on American Music Hall. His recording is amongst Alexander Prince archives on Cylinder- USA site Al If you search on cnet, there was a previous thread on which he was mentioned here http://www.concertin...h=1entry94827 He was cited as an American musician of Russian origin. ... which sounds along your line of thinking Al.

CrP Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Thank you very much for that URL link to the article about Пирожников. I found it fascinating. Seems to me he should be better known for his many accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
