PRICE INCREASES 2008

Valued Customers
I am sorry to have to increase many of my prices quite so dramatically at this time. This is due to an accumulation of  increases from the factories which I have not passed on to the customer before now; some prices have not changed for over 4 years however, the factories generally have increased their prices by 3-4% every year meaning that I have been absorbing this up till now. There should have been a gradual increase over time but with trying to keep on top of very heavy workloads single handedly, working out price increases for so many instruments has taken last place. Added to this, as I am sure you are aware, the pound has become very weak against the euro and the dollar in the last six months, making a difference of around 15-25% on the cost to me of each accordion.  With such large stocks kept in the shop at all times I often have not implemented the new price increases and have been happy to sell  the instruments at the cheaper older prices.  Although some makes are showing large price rises, they are still nowhere near  as high as the official factory retail price recommendations.  Despite this, I always aim to keep my prices as low as possible even though part exchanges can make this very difficult at times, whilst all the while offering the best impartial and objective advice, and after sales and repair service you will find in any shop in the country.

In dealing with my customers' much needed repairs, the waiting time for any major work is now running into several months.  This continuing demand means that any instruments that have come into stock needing more than small refinements to their appearance or condition never end up being restored as planned.  As you will have seen from my lists, all instruments that I sell are offered with a full three year guarantee and therefore have to be in good order.   This means any instruments that come in requiring restoration prior to sale has become unrealistic and indeed, for some time, impossible.  

With the realisation of my website, I have decided to try a new approach with these instruments and offer my customers the opportunity to buy any them at a fair price on a 'sold as seen' basis.  Most of the instruments on this extra list should have a complete overhaul done to the reeds but I have had many enquiries for cheap accordions so that someone would get an idea of playing without having to spend very much. Some of the accordions may not be as cosmetically pleasing as I would want, but in my experience I have spoken to many customers who are not concerned about the looks; or in some instances, some enthusiasts may be 'handymen' willing to have a go themselves at certain repairs as long as the instrument is generally playable in the first place.  

Ideally, it is not what I would like to do but that said, with such a huge stock I simply do not have the space to store or the time to carry out the necessary work.  However, if the particular accordion you buy should be exactly what you are after and you do want the overhaul done by me, then  it can be booked in to have any necessary work done at a later date.
