SHOP CLOSURE 2024

BY NOW, (WITH KIND THANKS TO BBC TV, VARIOUS  NEWSPAPERS, PODCASTS AND RADIO!), MANY OF YOU WILL KNOW THAT I PLAN TO CLOSE THE FAMILY BUSINESS PERMANENTLY AFTER ALMOST 75 YEARS ON SATURDAY 21ST DECEMBER 2024.

FOLLOWING THE CLOSURE, I PLAN TO BE AT THE SHOP TO ORGANISE THE REMOVAL OF STOCK AND CONTENTS ON TUESDAYS AND SATURDAYS, DURING WHICH TIME I WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON A STRICT 'APPOINTMENT ONLY' BASIS;  SHOULD YOU WISH TO GET IN TOUCH, OR GET A BARGAIN, YOU WILL STILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY!

I WILL HONOUR WARRANTIES ON INSTRUMENTS SOLD WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS. ANY NECESSARY WORK WOULD BE CARRIED OUT FROM MY HOME. SHOULD YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME REGARDING A GUARANTEE , PLEASE DO SO VIA THE E-MAIL  ADDRESS BELOW. I HAVE SET UP A REPAIR BENCH AND WILL STORE ANY REMAINING UNSOLD STOCK, WHICH WILL BE PUT IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, AND WILL THEN GO ON SALE; THEY WILL BE SHOWN ON MY WEBSITE, WHICH WILL REMAIN IN OPERATION. 

 I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO PUT A LIST OF REPAIRERS ON THE WEBSITE TO HELP THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NEED WORK DONE IN THE FUTURE. ANY REPAIRERS WHO WISH TO BE ADDED TO THIS LIST PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA E-MAIL AT:-  info@accordions.co.uk 

IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE MEETING YOU ALL AND HELPING MANY OF YOU ALONG YOUR ACCORDION JOURNEY, SOME OF YOU EVEN BECOMING FRIENDS, (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) BUT I FEEL IT IS NOW TIME TO ALLOW MYSELF THE FREEDOM TO ENJOY AND PURSUE PERSONAL MUSICAL PROJECTS & FAMILY LIFE.

CLOSING DOWN SALE....

I STILL HAVE A FEW ACCORDIONS LEFT IN STOCK IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS. WITH MY IMPENDING CLOSURE, I WILL NOW BE SELLING ANY INSTRUMENT IN ANY CONDITION YOU MAY WANT. NORMALLY, THESE WOULD BE FULLY OVERHAULED AND SOLD WITH GUARANTEES, BUT AT THIS POINT I COULD GET SOME OF THEM TO PLAYABLE CONDITION, AND SELL AT MUCH REDUCED PRICES, BUT WITHOUT GUARANTEE. ACCORDIONS BOUGHT IN THIS CONDITION CAN ALWAYS BE BOOKED IN FOR ANY NECESSARY WORK FROM MY HOME AFTER CLOSURE; THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE AN INSTRUMENT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR PURPOSES WITHOUT SPENDING LARGER AMOUNTS.

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY SECONDHAND LIST: -   secondhand   WHICH  WILL BE ADDED TO WITH REMAINING ACCORDIONS THAT ARE NOT LISTED AT THE MOMENT. I AM EXTREMELY BUSY WITH TRYING TO GET MY REMAINING REPAIRS DONE, SO I CAN ONLY DO THIS, TIME PERMITTING.

Another view of the shop and contents Ideally, we hope you will come to the shop personally, so you may see, and more importantly, try out the different instruments available.  It is essential to be able to play, hear and feel the differences between the various models in the same place, so that they may be compared acoustically; instruments can vary quite dramatically in sound depending on a room's size, type of flooring etc....   You might like to check out our Allodi/Fantini player's rogues gallery.

The biggest and best advantage of visiting in person of course, is that you will undoubtedly gain from our knowledge and years of experience.  However, that said, the website is designed to be the next best thing, allowing you to view our business from the comfort of your own home and in addition, have some vital questions answered that you may have been asking yourself before taking the plunge and purchasing your own accordion.  Refer to our section
expert advice and Pre-War accordions. 

Alternatively, you can check out our
tutors and books  page in which you will find a list of accordion tutors in case you are looking for someone to give you lessons, or simply a tutor book to work from or go to our accessories section if you are simply looking to replace your accordion straps for instance or would like MIDI fitted to your existing instrument
