Welcome to The Accordion Place
The Accordion Place is an accordion repair shop in Chapel Hill, NC, owned and operated by Keith Sawyer. Most of my customers live in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia, but I also get quite a few repair requests from players up and down the East coast, throughout the Midwest, and even California. I also sell used accordions; these have all been refurbished and maintained. This site describes the accordions I have for sale, and the repair services that I offer.
October, 2025: I’ve just posted seven accordions for sale, from $545 to a beautiful Excelsior for $1,895. I also am selling a rare museum quality Hohner De Luxe (price available on request). Most people won’t know what this is, but if you’re someone who knows, then I’d like to hear from you! Even if you don’t plan to buy it.
You can reach me at:
- email: info@accordionplace.com (This is the best way to reach me)
- phone: 919-903-8124. Please leave a message with your phone number; I check voicemail daily and will return your call ASAP.
- Hours: by appointment only
Every accordion has a story! Please click here to read some of my customer’s stories. Whether you’re thinking of repairing your accordion or just selling it, I’d like to hear your story.
I love repairing accordions! From 2017 to 2025, I repaired over 400 accordions and I don’t plan to retire anytime soon. Here’s the story of how I started repairing and why I repair accordions.
Keith repairing an accordion
I brought out the accordions below for a customer who was thinking of buying one. She spent over an hour playing them, one by one, to make sure she bought the right one just for her! Unless someone is here to look at an accordion, I keep them in their cases to protect them from dust. I have a dehumidifier in the house because humidity is the bane of accordions!
