Description
What are "heligonky"? This purely Czech and historical term refers to a type of Czech diatonic button accordion. They are characterized by a distinctly deep sound of bass tones and a characteristic, unmistakable sound. Since their inception in the early 20th century to this day, they have been inseparably linked to folk music and always will be. Original Czech heligonky from the workshops of the original manufacturers are all over 70 years old today. And if you wanted to buy a quality heligonka in those days, for example in České Budějovice, you would go directly to the workshop of the sought-after manufacturer Konstantin Stibitz. The humble and hardworking Mr. Stibitz, along with his employees, poured his best skill and heart into his heligonky. But the official memory of the future has completely forgotten him and his commendable work. This book brings you, dear readers, a glimpse into the life, work, and global fame of Konstantin Stibitz. I wish you a revealing reading experience. Jan Bicek
