The Shuya accordion is a tool with a human voice and soul

Whatever they say about the overseas origin of the accordion, but no one will ever think of counting it as a foreigner. Still fresh in the memory of many generations is the memory of the fact that not a single festivities and no weddings have been dispensed with without a cheerful harmonious player playing along with dancing or singing countrymen.

Harmonious boom

This tool found its listeners and admirers among the urban and rural population, regardless of wealth and estate. He cheered up the workers during the rest and inspired the fighters on the fronts. The ability to play on this instrument went literally by ear. Self-taught on the fly grasped the technique of performance and new motives.

A unique sound distinguishes the accordion among other musical instruments. Perfected with time, she received individuality depending on the place of birth and the master who put her voice and soul into her.

Shuya production

The first mass production of these instruments began in Tula. The magnitude of demand was such that workshops were opened in other cities of Russia, including Shuya. Each of them produced a harmonica, which had its own voice and personality. The most qualitative and interesting orders came from the whole region and the country. In 1935 several such small artels united in a single production, called "Shuya Harmonious Factory".

It provides a wide range of instruments that are different from each other by voices, dimensions, and design. More than twenty variations of the series.

In contrast to the fervent Tula harmonics, Shuysky has a wonderful accordion sound, thanks to the overtones that appear during the game. The instrument's voice is more human, soft and melodic.

It's rare to see a harmonica at a wedding these days. The demand for the instrument fell significantly. From almost 60 large workshops throughout Russia there are not more than a dozen. Mass production has sunk into the past. Shuyskaya accordion is produced in quantities of less than 100 pieces per month, whereas in the heyday of the release it reached 60,000 copies a year. In addition, the factory produced bayans and accordions in parallel. The release of these musical instruments is even smaller, on the order of several pieces per month.

The Birth of Harmony

At present, the production is called JSC "Shuyskaya accordion". It is located on Vikhreva street, building 77. The factory is now engaged not only in musical instruments, but also in the production of furniture and woodworking. Shuyskaya accordion began to be produced on a piece and under the order. All components made of wood, textiles, plastic, cardboard and metal are made by the masters of the factory. More than a thousand different kinds of parts in the same instrument.

In the process of assembly, which is carried out completely manually, the accordion goes through a procedure of tuning three times, only the last one is performed in the already assembled form. To teach an accordion to sing is not such a simple matter. Every detail used to extract sound must be perfected. Under the order can be customized specifically to the timbre of the performer, then the instrument will echo the voice of the person and simply bewitch.
