![]() The previous record was 31 hours and 25 minutes by Finnish accordionist Anssi Laitinen in 2010. Sponsored and filmed by Red Bull, Cory began on Friday morning August 4th and finished the following day, playing an accordion loaned by Scandalli, who also were sponsors of this event. Pesaturo’s performance took place in the full window of the Optik Neuroth storefront in Graz, Austria, and was amplified outside for all to hear. “I had to push through,” he said. "It was hard as hell, but I knew I had to do it." The other Guiness Record involving accordion was on the 24th July, when exactly 2,260 accordionists in Shenzhen, China, formed an enormous ensemble under dual conductors, Prof. Li Cong (President, China Accordion Assoc.) and Tong Jianhua (President, Shenzhen Accordion Assoc.) to set a new Guiness Record for accordion ensemble.
