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.
Martin Quinn in Co Carlow
John Brosnan Kilcummin Co Kerry
Ken Hopkins in Comber Co Down
Johnnie Owens in Ballymoney Co Antrim

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.

On my Dad’s Paolo Soprani 2 row 8 bass keyed with no couplers in B/C red Accordion got around min 1980ies in Belfast 2nd hand
has gold label on back with Ronnie Bamber ’ of Cullybackey, Co, Antrim. with full address and Phone number

He would like to change the tuning on the B/C to C#/D.

What would the cost to convert it.
