Button Accordeon repairer, tuner Ireland or UK

Post by Fergmaun »

My Dad plays few accordeons but only need acordeons 1 and 2 below only repaired at the moment.

1) Saltarelle Horizon 3 row 14 bass keyed in G/D/C#
2) Paolo Soprani 2 row 8 bass keyed in B/C

I have listed some accordeon repairers but can anyone recommend any more.

Fergus are you looking for one specifically in Northern Ireland. I think there's a guy from Newtonards or Bangor who specialises in B/C boxes.
