At The Accordion Place, we sell the best used accordions. Each has been inspected, as described here, and repaired as needed. We don’t offer an accordion for sale until we’re sure it’s in good shape! All accordion sales are backed by our three-month in-shop repair warranty. Check out these photos of the refurbishing and cleaning work that I do on every accordion before I list it for sale.

The accordions on this page have all been sold in the past two years. They are still being played by happy customers! We get new accordions in all the time, so please click here to see the accordions we currently have for sale. 

Accordions sold as of September, 2021

SOLD: Romano Concert Accordion, $1,895.

 

A phenomenal full-size accordion designed for professional concert performance. This has the rich tone and the effortless volume that you find in professional-grade accordions. You may have heard of “tone chamber” accordions, which are known for their deep rich tone in the bassoon and clarinet register. This is not a tone chamber accordion, but when you play the bassoon you’ll think it is; it truly resonates. This accordion has a story! “Romano” isn’t an accordion brand; you won’t find it anywhere on the Internet. A professional player named “Romano” was the original owner, and he custom-ordered this and asked to have his name put on it at the factory. Only professional players tended to do this and only used the highest quality factories. The six circular silver mutes that you see is a design associated with Scandalli accordions, and it was probably made by their craftsmen.

SOLD Blue Giulietti 2/4, $545.

Giulietti is one of the most famous brands in accordions. The ones I see are almost always large and expensive concert accordions. So I was wonderfully surprised to see this amazing blue-themed accordion from Giulietti! Even the color of the bellows folds alternates between ivory and blue. The tone is amazing like you’d expect from this brand. This is a great value—a professional accordion in a smaller size.

I sold this one to a repair customer before I even had time to list it on my web site! I didn’t get a chance to weight it or measure the keyboard… It’s not unusual for me to sell an accordion to a local customer right after I refurbish it.

General information about accordions for sale:

  • The accordion’s mechanical parts (register shifts, bass machine) are working in good shape, and all of the keys are in good condition: the key facings don’t have cracks, and the action (pushing down and spring back up) is in good shape.
  • The accordion has all of the straps: bass strap, upper and lower bellows straps, right and left shoulder straps. The straps are all old, unless otherwise noted, but all are functional.
  • All accordions come with a case, unless otherwise noted. All of the cases for used accordions are old, scratched, and have tears on the corners. I include photos of the case with the listing. All cases are functional (hinges, handles, latches) unless noted.

When I get a used accordion in the shop, I make sure it’s in great shape before I list it for sale. My inspection and repairs include:

  • After I finish inspecting and repairing the reed blocks, I take photos before I re-assemble the accordion, so you can see that the insides are in good shape. You’ll see one photo for the treble side reeds, and a second photo for the bass side reeds.
  • I inspect the bellows for air leaks. With many old accordions, I find at least one tiny air leak at the edge of the bellows, and I fix that by replacing the bellows gaskets.
  • I inspect the bellows tape and the corners. Sometimes the bellows tape is torn on the lower back, where it can rub against the player’s belt buckle or shirt buttons. For all of my accordions for sale, I include a photo of the back of the bellows, so you can confirm the tape isn’t worn.
  • I test all of the bass chord buttons to make sure that each one plays the proper chord. You’d be surprised at how many old accordions were repaired incorrectly, and the buttons were reassembled in the wrong locations! Usually it’s only a few buttons, that aren’t often used, or it’s the diminished buttons. So this can go undetected for many years.
