There is always something wrong with an accordion! After doing my own accordion repairs for years I have started to do repairs for The Accordion Shop who have branches in Sunningdale and Rochdale as well as for private customers. Having said that I’m happy to give advice if you want to mend your accordion yourself (or goto this brilliant accordion repair site run by George Bachich)
I have an engineering degree, and attended a great accordion repair course with Paul Flannery. I have also visited accordion and reed factories in Italy’s “accordion capitol” Castelfidardo where I was able to learn from some brilliant tuners and builders.
I stock a variety of spare parts and have the necessary specialist tools and equipment for tuning and re-waxing reeds. I also repair leaks, free stiff keys and couplers as well as mending microphones, electronic bugs and MIDI systems. I do repairs on bass mechanisms, transit damaged boxes, and bellows.
I charge £40/hour plus parts. The time taken for jobs varies enormously and some things can be improved very swiftly. If you can get your sick box to Narberth in Wales I can have a quick look and we can take it from there. If we think it’s worth going ahead with more work I’ll give you a quote. Give me a ring on 07814 439566 or email info@georgewhitfield.co.uk
