Accordion repair

Your accordion is more than an instrument – for many people it is a companion of many years. For over 35 years everything here has revolved around the accordion, and every instrument that comes onto our workbench is treated as if it were our own.

Bugari accordion workshop in Pforzheim

In our own accordion workshop we look after everything a free-reed instrument needs – from fine tuning in treble and bass, through a complete overhaul, to the careful restoration of old treasures. We work exclusively with high-grade specialist tools and original Bugari spare parts.

Whether Bugari, HOHNER or another make – every instrument is welcome here.

Small repairs and large ones

An accordion repair does not always mean a long wait. Retuning a single note, replacing a valve, easing a sticking key – a lot of this we do on the spot, so you can take your accordion home with you straight away. Mechanical work on the keyboard and the bass action is often possible immediately as well.

For bigger jobs such as a complete overhaul, a restoration, fitting a chin register or a special conversion, we look at your instrument together with you and give you a fair estimate before any work begins.

From all over Germany and beyond

Thanks to many years of experience with free-reed instruments, customers come to us in Pforzheim from all over Germany and from the neighbouring countries. If you cannot come in person, send your instrument well packed – we will get in touch with an estimate before we start.
