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 $1800, and $1875 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.

 

My first accordion. Old red cypress from my grandfather's barn. Key of C.

 

The second accordion.Curly maple stained red. Key of C, no slides.

 

The third accordion. Curly claro walnut.  Key of D.

 

Fourth accordion. Cocobolo main wood, curly maple faceplates and trim, ebony trim.  9 button in C.

 

Fifth accordion. Curly maple, stained reddish brown.  Key of C.

 

Sixth accordion. Redwood burl.  Key of low G.
