Luuvalo is the final project of Heli Latva-Kiskola, who graduated from the Ikaalinen School of Arts and Crafts in the spring of 2008. The body and painting of the accordion, which was the subject of the actual thesis, were done by Heli, but the mechanics were done by Marko Reini. The accordion got its first owner from Hyvinkää immediately after the 2008 Sata-Häme Soi festival.
