Garveys Accordions
Garvey Accordions have been available since 2003. Up to 2003 the quality of the beginner accordion was not of the highest standard. The Hohner brand was the best seller and the black dot had not been improved or upgraded since the 1950’s.
Sean sourced a maker to improve the quality and ended up producing what became the Garvey AAA. This accordion has always had the features of the professional accordions all of which were lacking in the Hohner and Parott or anything else available.
The present day Garvey accordions are known for their quality Tam reeds which are only ever found in the professional accordions. The action is comparable with the Italian makes and the playability is excellent. Free bellows allows great flow with its 17 folds. Customers are always amazed at the price comparing quality and finish in comparison to the more expensive professional models.
Now in 2021 our Garvey catalogue consists of :
- Garvey Tam 2 – 23 button, a 2 voice accordion with Tremolo tuning.
- Garvey Tam 2 – 21 button, a 2 voice accordion with swing tuning.
- Garvey Tam 3 – 23 button a 3 voice with 2 middle octive reeds and a sub octave.
Garvey accordions are presently being replicated by a few distributors who don’t involve themselves in research, they just copy what they see. But only The Garvey has the Quality reeds and Italian parts like buttons straps and brackets etc.

I always stock the 23 Button B+C in tremolo + the 21 Button in Swing and I have the 21 button in C#D Swing
These accordions are very popular with student moving off the beginner accordion such as the Garvey AAA and even though the AAA is a good quality starter, the student can feel and hear the difference.
This accordion is highly recommended by teachers around the country and they know we will take the AAA back as a trade in and then in time they can trade the Tam with us for a professional accordion.
The reason for the name on this accordion is the fact that it has PROFESSIONAL Reeds which means hand finished. Similar quality reeds to the Castagnari and Paolo Soprani and Serenellini accordions. This is the second of the new Garvey improver series price is €1200.
In 12 years I have never had to replace one broken reed which is a sign of the quality of the reeds. The Tam 2 and Tam 3 come in either a Italian Fuselli made quality soft bag or a hard case with a tan/red pair of Italian straps
