Craftsmanship and service
You can come to us for all work on your accordion. From small jobs to major overhauls, tuning, new or antique, severely damaged, modifications, all are welcome.
Accordion maintenance is important to keep your instrument in good condition. Proper maintenance cannot be done by the first person, it requires expertise and a lot of experience, and it is a pricey business. We have years of experience in repairing accordions. The craft was learned by co-working in the Pigini factory in Italy and by working extensively with Italian craftsmen.
All brands, we have experience with, among others: Pigini, Bugari, Borsini, Hohner, Ballone Burini, Victoria, Zero Sette, Piermaria, Scandalli, Excelsior, Brandoni, Weltmeister, Delicia, Fisart, Paolo Soprani, SEM, Giulietti, Fantini, Accordiola…
Valuation & advice
Many accordionists take out special accordion insurance. Wise! However, the insurer then requires a bill or appraisal report.
You can have your instrument appraised by us for €50. In addition, we then equip your instrument with an invisible, wirelessly readable chip.
Buying & selling
Are you looking for a used accordion? Or do you have an accordion you want to sell.
All used accordions are checked, cleaned, repaired, tuned and come with warranty.
Inspection & repair
Want to know what condition your accordion is in? You can have your instrument completely checked for €50. For this, your instrument will also be cleaned and minor problems fixed.
In addition, we then equip your instrument with an invisible, wirelessly readable chip.
Overhaul & maintenance
An accordion does not need to be checked, cleaned or tuned every year. However, periodic maintenance is vital for your instrument. After such an overhaul, you’ll be ready to go again for a few years.
Of course, you can always stop by if a tone is not doing well. After all, that’s part of our service.

Guide prices
Experience shows that most of the instruments that come to us are in very reasonable to good condition. The determining factor is how badly an instrument has detuned, whether it has been left too damp or too dry, has rusty tongues….
Occasionally an instrument is in very bad shape, but this can be easily heard without even opening it. Handmade tongues need to be tuned more often than factory tongues. Every repair done by us is recorded in a repair log.
You will receive a report with details of the repair and any recommendations. Rates for mechanical adjustment, repair of a leaky bellows, broken knobs or keys, cracks and other serious damage on request.
