The accordion was a very popular musical instrument in the 1950's and there were several studios specializing in its instruction. The Nomellini studio was owned and operated by Louis J. Nomellini; it was located in the Bernice Bldg. at 11th & Pacific. Mr. Nomellini had also conducted the Eagles all-accordion children's band in the late 1940's.
