ACCORDIONOLOGY
DECATUR, GEORGIA, USA
We love selling, fixing and restoring accordions - and getting to know folks who play them.
Meet the Team
Jack
Some years ago, when I couldn’t find anyone within a day’s drive to fix my instruments, I learned accordion repair myself! Now we’re the only full-service accordion-shop we know of in the Southeast.
Thinking of buying or renting… or just want to try playing one?
We invite you to come squeeze a few!
Lovely NEW accordions from Europe: Paolo Soprani, E. Soprani, Saltarelle, Fisitalia and others. Also REFURBISHED accordions of various sizes & configurations.
Stephanie
A few years ago Stephanie came in with a friend who wanted to buy an accordion…and never left!
Now as Service Manager, Stephanie oversees evaluations, estimates, and all aspects of exacting repair + restoration work.
A guitar player, vocalist, accordionist, and all around enthusiastic musician, she enjoys music of all kinds, but is especially fond of tight, haunting harmonies and anything she can play at a Renaissance Festival.
Eric
We met Eric Nabeth (actor, composer, and all-around energizer)… when he bought an accordion to learn on, so he could audition for a part in the Russian-themed, accordion-prominent musical “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet”.
He joined the immensely talented cast for the show’s very successful production and extended run.
Eric dedicates his musicianship to the memory of his grandfather, a tenacious Russian accordionist who inspires him to this day.
He is already “Deep in the Reeds” with us: learning repair skills, making video-demos of accordions for sale… and serving as DJ in the repair shop.
Tools of the Trade
Tuning bench with pedal-bellows, Peterson tuner, Google Sheets for precise tracking of a tuning project... and a pair of good ears (not pictured).
"Fantastic! Very knowledgeable, fine work. I always knew exactly where Jack was in the process of repairs, because he's very good at communicating and fast to respond to messages and questions. I highly recommend!”
