Accordions repaired or restored and sent to their owners.
Hohner Student VM 48 bass piano accordion. Complete reed refurbishment carried out by Jollyrogeraccordions – new valves, wax, tuned to concert pitch. See pictures below.
Ideal for learning or for taking to music sessions, or for busking or carrying while travelling. This instrument was made in Germany and has a bright Hohner sound and is very far ahead of any modern Chinese made accordions, especially in terms of its playability, weight and sound. Please see the demo video to hear it!
Hohner Cajun melodeon (SOLD), made in Germany. In the key of C. This is a classic instrument and it is rare to find examples like this that were purchased and never played – now sold. This one was located (of all places) in Tasmania.
Pariselle melodeon in DG with 14 bass. (Now SOLD) This was made in 2014 in Yeovil under the direction of Emmanuel Pariselle. It is fitted with hand finished Ciccarelli reeds and is octave tuned, with two voices, Low and Medium, with two switches to give three settiings (L, M, or LM). It has 14 basses and a six button helper row. The layout is here – Pariselle Layout PDF. This is a unique instrument, made from French walnut and custom inlay. The bass chords are ‘thirdless’. This wonderful instrument weighs 3.5kg or 8lbs. Please watch the video demo to hear an identical instrument (the melodeon in the video was made alongside this one for sale).
