My Best seller, This beginner accordions has been viewed by almost 250,000 on You Tube

Musicians will say that these Castagnari accordions are the best off the shelf accordions available. While some makers have a waiting list, With Castagnari the retailer does the wait and has to order in advance by up to 5/6 months

Along with the Garvey AAA, the Tam 1 and Tam 2 have professional reeds, made by the same company as Saltarelle accordions use. These are great Improver accordions and sell worldwide.

I went to The factory in Castelfidardo, Italy in 2004 and had these new version replicas of the old Grey 1948 model Paolo Soprani made and they are a steady seller since. High quality finish and playability. I should have insisted on my name being on them “Garvey Jubilee” but thats another story.

Serenellini have been in Ireland since the early 1990’s and the demand for these accordions is still strong for these accordions especially the 3 stopper accordion.

Beltuna has been popular in the last few years as their Melodeon has been played by popular players like Bobby Gardiner and Emmet Corbett. The 2 row Button accordions are also becoming very popular.

Hohner, The student piano models are the most reliable piano accordions available and the price is very good compared to the Italian so called student models which are mostly very heavy.

Hohnica is one of many names for the Chinese student accordions. Coming out of the same factory is Serenelli, Parrot etc Student accordions are always needed but gradually the prices are getting excessive.

We take trade in’s against all  new Stock
______________________________________________________________

We stock a range of keys from B+C, C#D  D+G etc, and can order any key if you are buying a new accordion.

Buying an accordion or concertina from us is a guaranteed and hassle free experience.

We are not the big shop in town who don’t want to see you call again after the purchase. We would rather be glad to know that you are happy with your purchase. If at any time you lose confidence in the quality of the instrument and decide within a week that you are not happy with your purchase or that the instrument does not do what we said it would, please come back and we’ll sort it out.

If you need to get a teacher or expert to look at your accordion,  All About Accordions and Concertinas, can accommodate you in getting approval on the instrument before you pay.

Sean Garvey, who is an Accordion Player and Accordion and Concertina Builder and has been working with accordions since 1990’s . He will gladly offer his time and help you in choosing the right instrument for you.

Please phone, if only for advice. 

Always phone ahead before travelling a long way to make sure we have what you are looking for. This is particularly important during the Summer / Fleadh / Festival season, when we take stock out to shows. 

_________

All About Accordions have been supplying quality accordions to traditional Irish Musicians for twenty years [1999] and in that time we have been in the forefront  making players more aware of the quality of reeds available to the professional player.

All my professional accordion reeds have the makers name stamped on them.

I have made the accordion players aware of the different quality reeds available to them, through advertising the different types in each accordion we sell.  20 years ago very few players in Ireland would have heard of the Tipo A Mano reeds for example.  Tam Reeds as we now call them.

Accordion company’s were dropping their standards in order to shift their instruments. And the only way to cut costs is to use cheaper reeds where possible.  Some shops back then were specifying [when ordering accordions] the cheaper reeds in order to offer a better price.

In 2008 I asked the reed makers to supply a sticker to back up my guarantee to my customers.
Because of my influence on the reed makers, today, In every accordion we sell there is a sticker from the reed maker stating the type of reeds in the accordion.
