The Guido Deiro Archive
The
Guido Deiro Archive was donated to The Center for the
Study of Free-Reed Instruments, The Graduate Center, The
City University of New York, by Count Roberto Guido Deiro
of Las Vegas in March 2001.
The Archive consists of memorabilia of the careers of his
father, Guido Deiro, and his uncle, Pietro Deiro,
pioneering piano-accordionists in America. Part of the collection
was passed to Count Deiro by his father (who died in 1950);
the remainder was assembled by Count Deiro over a period
of many years. The collection is divided into two parts,
recordings and printed items.
The Archive's materials are subdivided as follows:
