Between us we've serviced thousands of accordions — including time as repair techs for Petosa. Bring yours in for a free assessment, and we'll explain what we find before any work begins.

Fixing or replacing reeds that are out of tune, buzzing, or unresponsive — and voicing the instrument so it speaks clearly.

Patching air leaks, replacing tape, and full bellows replacement when the original is past saving.

Bass mechanism service

Cleaning, regulating, and repairing the Stradella bass mechanism and free-bass systems.

Keyboard & action repair

Sticky keys, sluggish buttons, broken mechanics — restoring smooth, even action.

General tuning

Bringing the whole instrument back into tune, including tremolo and dry tuning preferences.

What to expect

Every repair starts with a free in-person assessment. You drop the instrument off, we evaluate it, and we get back to you with what's going on, what we'd recommend, and what it'll cost — no pressure, no surprises.

Minor repairs can often be turned around quickly. Full restorations typically take several weeks, depending on the scope and the parts involved.

Brands & types

We work on most types of accordions — piano accordions, button accordions, and diatonic accordions across a wide range of brands and ages. If you're unsure whether we can help, send a photo and we'll let you know.
