If you ever need to buy an accordion…

Posted by Jason Steele | Friday 21 August 2009 12:51 pm

If, by chance, you happen to be in the market for an accordion, I hearily recommend that you consider getting a used one from Liberty Bellows.

I just happened to need an accordion recently, and was lucky enough to stumble upon this great little company. They sell and rent used accordions (mostly piano-style), and best of all they have video recordings of each and every accordion being played so that you know exactly what it’s going to sound like before you buy it. Purchasing instruments online is always difficult, because you don’t get that “hands on” experience before buying that is often crucial in making a good choice. So being able to hear my accordion before I bought it was great.

Plus, accordions are ridiculously expensive, and getting a used one off eBay can be a serious gamble, especially if you’re new to the instrument. So seeing and hearing a used instrument is a good way to be sure it’s actually going to work when you receive it.

Their website is: http://www.libertybellows.com

Soooo… if you’re one of the ten or eleven people in America shopping for an accordion, give Liberty Bellows a try!

(No I’m not being paid to promote Liberty Bellows. I recently purchased an accordion from them, the accordion was great, the seller was great, and I figure a company in the business of selling accordions probably survives largely on word of mouth. So these are my mouth words.)

    It is cool that they have videos for each one.

    Cool. I don’t like the accordion in any way, but still, cool.

    Great work, keep it up!

    P.S. An idea for a line in a new cloak movie “is that an axe in your face or are you just happy to see me?”

    P.P.S you’re awesome :)

    they should probably sell more than one instrument, they’d probably have a better business

    JASON! Can you post a video of you playing your snazztastic new accordion?

    wow, how convenient, seriously thanks a lot for this. I myself have been looking for a decent accordion (my current one is only a learners and has no range, recently bought a ukulele for pretty cheap to spend my time with before I made the money to buy a decent accordion) and have gotten nowhere with ebay, so this is perfect. Thanks a bunch!

    Another instrument to add to the collection. Awesome.

    It’s great that you have a new instrument to the collection but why is this important to us. GIVE US A NEW FREAKIN UPDATE ON A NEW MOVIE OR ELSE

    Ever thought of purchasing a harp?

    *Harps are cool AND ridiculous, Jason.*

    it’s a real shame I’ve already acquired my accordion by other means.
