Hi, thank you for having me. I am not yet an accordion player but have been thinking of trying to learn one having played clawhammer banjo, tin whistle and Uilleann pipes and many years ago I played piano. I therefore have a basic knowledge of keyboard but it’s finding the right instrument within my budget. The best piano accordions appear to be Italian but but they come at a hefty price. I have tried my friends Chinese accordion but it to be honest sounds awful and such hard work to play. Recently I have been looking at eBay for vintage accordions and 2 have just come up close to we’re I live. My question is are these 2 models any good and what is likely to be the cost of getting either of them serviced as they, being vintage would probably need one? Am ii better to save up for a reconditioned one from a reputable dealer like the Birmingham accordion centre or take a chance on eBay?
