In dealing with my customers' much needed repairs, the waiting time for any major work is now running into several months.  This continuing demand means that any instruments that have come into stock needing more than small refinements to their appearance or condition never end up being restored as planned.  As you will have seen from my lists, all instruments that I sell are offered with a full three year guarantee and therefore have to be in good order.   This means any instruments that come in requiring restoration prior to sale has become unrealistic and indeed, for some time, impossible.  

With the realisation of my website, I have decided to try a new approach with these instruments and offer my customers the opportunity to buy any of them at a fair price on a 'sold as seen' basis.  Most of the instruments on this extra list should have a complete overhaul done to the reeds but I have had many enquiries for cheap accordions so that someone would get an idea of playing without having to spend very much. Some of the accordions may not be as cosmetically pleasing as I would want, but in my experience I have spoken to many customers who are not concerned about the looks. In some instances, some enthusiasts may be 'handymen' willing to have a go themselves at certain repairs as long as the instrument is generally playable in the first place.  

Ideally, it is not what I would like to do but that said, with such a huge stock I simply do not have the space to store or the tme to carry out the necessary work.  However, if the particular accordion you buy should be exactly what you are after and you do want the overhaul done by me, then  it can be booked in to have any necessary work done at a later date.
