(English Translation of Summary)
For over a half provided the company Älvdalen Hagström in Sweden and the world of musical instruments - accordion first, then electric guitars and amplifiers. AB Albin Hagstrom expanded, from being a one-person housed in 'Snuff-Gustavs shop "in Älvdalen, to be a global company with over 400 employees in several factories, plus nearly 50 stores in Scandinavia.

This is the story of a classic American entrepreneur who started with two empty hands, but with a huge operation and the head full of ideas and visions, and not only built and sold musical instruments, but also learned the Swedish people to play on them.

There is also a great piece of 1900s entertainment and cultural history, depicting Hagström relationships with artists as diverse as Carl Jularbo, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Sven-Ingvar, Charlie Norman, The Cardigans, Owe Thörnqvist, Elvis Presley and ABBA.
