Bandoleo Collection name Bandoleo is a corruption of and a referral to the ‘Bandoneon’, an accordion-like music instrument, designed by Heinrich Band from Konzertina Germany in 1854. The Bandoneon has an extremely long windbag, being ‘broken’ on the knee by its player to achieve very fierce accents. The sound of the bandoneon is warm and woolly which makes the instument very appropriate for melancholic music like the Tango. A large similarity between Carpet Sign and the Bandoneon lies in the fact that every single instrument is unique due to the large amount of handicraft by which the bandoneons are made. The Bandoleo rug meets the form of the bandoneon . It is said that the instrument has been introduced in Argentina by the Irishman Thomas Moore in 1880 but more likely it came along with the large amount of seasonal workers from Italy , where the Bandoneon was also very popular. In Argentina the bandoneon became one of the most popular folk instruments and at the same time became the characteristic instrument of the Argentinian Tango. The most well-known bandoneon player and componist worldwide is Astor Piazzolla. This nuevo tango-bandoneonist composed -together with numerous orchestra- lots of well known tangos like ‘Adiós Nonino’, which was performed by the most well-known Dutch bandoneon player Carel Kraayenhof at the wedding of Princess Máxima and King Willem
