Secondhand accordion (UK)?

Help, I am looking for a cheapish accordion becuase my last one disintegrated while I was playing it! I would like 4 buttons for each key (not bothered about 7th buttons but I want the third buttons) so I think that's an 80 bass... Anyone near Glasgow want to sell one?

Hi Daisy.

My mate Boxette went on a mission to find just such a beast, on account her being ... er.... of concentrated stature, with her long suffering father, The Bloke In The Corner.

She found that there is a mess of previously enjoyed accordia of the 120 persuasion sitting on shelves around the country (England, sorry!) but ended up buying a new 80 bass Allodi from a nice bloke in London. There are seemingly no sub 100 bass boxes available on the seconhand market at anything approaching cheap.

Bonne chance, any road up.

Allodi are the people to speak to - John Kirkpatrick spoke very highly of them when I was talking to him a couple of weeks ago.

It's a family business, and all instruments they sell have been given a 'full service' - though how you change the oil in an accordion is beyond me...!!

So what is Manitas doing, posting from Skipjack's cookie... is there something you ain't telling us? Either of you????

Be warned, the buggers will haunt you, when you sell them on. We get reports about one of his former possessions, from all over the country..... nice to know one of us is getting about...

Hobgoblin Music have got a seventy-two bass, in white pearl, (I think it's a Hohner) that I rather fancy. Still if you need it, I've already got two. Mustn't be greedy. Friend in middle England has a ladies 120 for sale.
