My accordions

In building my accordions, I wanted to remain traditional in form, but incorporate my own touches.  I turn my own stops, and use custom made corner hardware.  I enjoy making accordions to a customer's special wishes.  I feel it makes it more special to a person if the accordion they had built has unique touches.  I will consider any custom request, though some may cost extra.

My base price for a 10 button accordion with handmade Italian reeds is $1900, and $1950 for a 9 button.  This includes premium wood, such a curly maple or claro walnut.  Wood colors and buttons choices are up to the customer.

Below are pictures of some that I've built so far. Click on a pictures below for a larger view, larger picture will open in a new window.
