ALLODI ACCORDIONS LIMITED

Back home

  We really do have one of the largest stock of accordions in the world!
In fact, we pride ourselves on offering the biggest selection at all times, of new and secondhand instruments anywhere in the UK!   I want my customers to see and try as many instruments as they can, before they purchase and take away the one they have selected as right for them.   This page will take you anywhere you wish to go within the Allodi Accordions Website.
Please scroll down for important information about accordion repairs

The Allodi Accordions Website is informative and fun to use. 
The two basic categories of new or secondhand instruments speak for themselves.   However, for speed and efficiency, for the customers who know exactly what they want, we have also incorporated both categories into size specification alone.  Therefore, if you want a 72 bass instrument for example, simply click on it, and all our
72 bass instruments will be listed for you, (new and secondhand), along with the option to see a full size image.  The same applies to all categories.  All pages offer the link back to the index/home page. 
Check it out for yourselves by clicking on the appropriate button above.

Need your Accordion Repaired

No problem.
No charge either for checking it over and/or providing a typed estimate.  
Depending on the instrument itself of course, there is virtually nothing that cannot be repaired, although in some instances, it may not be financially sound to do so; either way, pop along to the shop with your accordion, and I will give you the full benefit of my expertise. You can telephone by all means, as many enquiries can be dealt with by phone if you know the make and model etc. details of the instrument concerned, however, occasionally it will be necessary to see the instrument before an accurate estimate could be provided.

For helpful tips on accordion repairs and maintenance, plus explanations on the terms used to describe tuning and specification etc., have a look at our
how to care for your instrument  page.

If you would like some personal background on the business and it's origins, you might like to go to our family history page where there are lots of pictures, some even older than me!

The "Pitch Bend" function is an optional feature available at an additional cost of £70 to the prices shown

Important: - The fitted prices shown above are Musictech's own prices.  When ordering a new Italian accordion from us the price may vary as some accordion factories may add a handling charge or commission which is down to the discretion of the  factory concerned; generally the prices will be lower.  As an example, if you are adding MIDI Q-Link to any Fantini/Allodi accordion the price will be only £600 which is  less than the Musictech price shown above.  Therefore prices for MIDI to be fitted on new instruments may only be advised upon order of any instrument.

There are other MIDI systems available; however, these mentioned are my most popular.  Should your requirement differ to any of the above please telephone and I will try to assist you.
