For an accurate evaluation, you really need to have an accordion repair expert open up the instrument and examine the interior.
Not all of these problems may be evident from the exterior condition or even a quick play-test. When they sit for decades unplayed - even in a case in a climate-controlled environment - the moving parts inside can tend to deteriorate, especially the leather, felt, glue and wax. Like cars, accordions need to have regular servicing every few years to remain in good condition.
The "sold" listings will probably give you the most realistic figures. We always suggest taking a look on eBay at current and "sold" listings to see what a similar instrument is going for - and you will likely encounter a very wide price range. This could vary widely depending on where - and by what method - the accordion is being sold by an individual on Craigslist or eBay, at a pawn shop or antique store, by a reputable accordion shop, and also by geographic region the same instrument might fetch a higher price in New York City than it would in rural Arkansas. The short answer is, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. We do not accept accordions for sale or consignment that would need to be shipped to us. We are especially interested in piano accordions of bass sizes that are in good condition. Below, we offer some information to assist those who may be looking to sell their accordion. When it comes down to placing a value on an older accordion, the brand name often doesn't mean a whole lot anyway, except in a handful of cases.Īppraising an accordion's value is not a straightforward process, because they generally do not have "Blue Book values" like many other instruments such as guitars do. There are also quite a lot of these nameless instruments floating around out there, and there is no way to identify which company originally made them. Some accordions were even manufactured without brand names, so that a retail shop could add their own name later when they offered it for sale.
Your accordion may even have a serial number, but in most cases there are no records for tracking these numbers. Though a handful of them are still in operation, most stopped manufacturing decades ago, and there is little historical information available about these companies. In the "Golden Age" of accordion manufacturing in Italy the mid sthere were literally hundreds of accordion companies and brand names making instruments.
