Although
we specialise in concertinas, we also provide a top-class repair and restoration
service for all types of free-reed (metal reeded) instruments. Flutinas;
button and piano accordions; melodeons; German concertinas; French lap organs;
French, English and Indian harmoniums; American organs and many other variations.
We are happy to undertake work for churches, institutions and so on. With

(written if required) and valuation. Our restoration services include
tuning (usually including re-valving and valve-stop pins - priced per button
or reed); bellows repair or replacement; gold tooling; French polishing
and all woodwork / action repairs or replacement.
Visitors welcome by appointment, please feel free to ‘phone for any advice.
