    "content": "# Frequently asked questions\n\nAnswers to the most common questions about accordion repair, tuning, care, buying and transport — from the Paul Pichot workshop in Uzerche, France. \n\n- [Home](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en)\n\n- Frequently asked questions\n\n## How often should an accordion be tuned?\n\nUnfortunately I can't give you a single frequency that would hold for every accordion. It depends on the build quality, on how you use the instrument and on where it has lived.\n\nAn accordion played regularly is worth checking every year, or every two or three years depending on how demanding you are. An instrument left unplayed for a long time, or stored in poor conditions, generally deserves a check before you take it up again.\n\n## How much does a service or a repair cost?\n\nMy rates are based on an hourly rate of €50.\n\nEverything therefore depends on the instrument, its condition and the extent of the work required.\n\nA routine service generally takes between 2 and 5 hours of work.\n\nA full tuning takes between 4 and 15 hours depending on the number of notes, while a complete restoration can take between 15 and 35 hours, or more depending on the instrument.\n\nThe answer really is case by case. Describe your instrument and its condition through [the quote form](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/devis), attaching photos and as much detail as possible. If you are able to open your instrument, send me photos of the inside as well.\n\nI will send you a quote giving you a price range, wider or narrower as the case may be. The final quote is drawn up at the workshop, after we have talked it through in person.\n\n## How much does it cost to tune an accordion?\n\nIt depends on how far out of tune your accordion is. An examination at the workshop gives me an idea of your instrument's tuning \"debt\".\n\nThe more notes there are to bring back into line, the longer the tuning takes, and so the more it costs. On the basis of a €50 hourly rate, tuning one frame — that is two notes, one on the draw and one on the press — comes to around €2.50 to €3.\n\nFor a full tuning of the right hand of a 46-note, two-voice accordion, the rough calculation is therefore: 46 × 2 × 3 = €276 at most.\n\nThe best approach is to go through [the quote form](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/devis), so that I can give you a precise idea of what it comes to in your case.\n\n## Can you change the vibrato on my accordion?\n\nYes, I can! It is an extremely rewarding stage, because it is where the final voice of the instrument is shaped.\n\nI can talk to you in hertz, in cents or in the usual vibrato names (swing, American, celeste…), but the best approach is probably still to discuss the music you want to play and the styles you want to move towards, drawing on recordings by artists you admire if that helps.\n\nFrom that conversation, we choose the type of vibrato that suits you best, for a tuning made to measure.\n\n## Which types of accordion do you work on?\n\nI work on chromatic and diatonic accordions, converter and free-bass accordions, as well as bandoneons, concertinas, Indian harmoniums and other free-reed instruments with bellows. Whatever the make, the period or the range of the instrument.\n\n## How does a quote request work?\n\nThere are two ways: by appointment at the workshop, or through the form.\n\nTo save you the journey and to get a first idea, going through [the quote form](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/devis) is the easier route: tell me the make and model, with a few photos if possible, along with a description of the problem and of the repairs or modifications you have in mind. I reply with an initial diagnosis and an estimate. If you decide to go ahead, we draw up a final quote at the workshop once I have examined the accordion.\n\n## Do I need an appointment to visit the workshop?\n\nYes, by appointment only. This isn't a formality: it lets me give you proper time, open the instrument with you, talk it through, and let you try out accordions if you are looking to buy. Reach me by email, phone or text and we'll arrange a time.\n\n## I live far from Uzerche — can I send you my accordion?\n\nThat is possible. Ideally I like to meet you, examine the accordion together so we can talk it over and make the best decisions, and then tell you about the repairs once they are done.\n\nIf that really isn't an option, I accept instruments brought by friends or family, or entrusted to reliable carriers (UPS). Get in touch about your particular case and I'll give you some advice to avoid any mishaps.\n\n## I've inherited an old accordion — is it worth restoring?\n\nThat's a hard one to answer, it depends. Some old instruments have real historical and musical value, and deserve a full restoration. For others — sadly more common — the cost of the work exceeds the market value of the accordion, and I would rather tell you so than carry out work for its own sake. That is exactly what an [appraisal](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/services/expertise-evaluation) is for: identifying where the instrument comes from, estimating its value and the cost of putting it back in order. Sentimental value counts too: it belongs to you alone, but it is never to be dismissed.\n\n## Do you sell second-hand accordions?\n\nYes, I keep a selection of [second-hand accordions](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/accordeons-occasion-correze-limousin) at the workshop. Each listing details the instrument and its condition, and you are welcome to come and try them on site, by appointment.\n\n## Do you buy accordions back? Do you take them on consignment?\n\nYes, I do sometimes buy accordions back. After examining the instrument, I can offer you a price matching its market value, less the estimated cost of any repairs. Consignment is also possible, depending on the instrument and the space available at the workshop.\n\n## How do I keep my accordion in good condition?\n\nPlay it! An accordion that lives fares better than one that sleeps: it keeps the reeds and leathers moving, and prevents dust from settling and damp from taking hold.\n\nTake care of it, spare it knocks and swings in temperature and humidity. Keep it dry and, if you can, avoid standing on it or leaving it in a car boot in high summer. Wrap it in a small emergency blanket if it has to sit in the sun on stage, and try not to tap your cigarette ash into the folds of the bellows.\n\nBeyond that, an occasional [preventive service](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/services/entretien-preventif) stops small troubles from turning into major repairs.\n\n## Do you give accordion lessons?\n\nYes, I give [chromatic accordion lessons](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/services/cours-accordeon) in Uzerche, for children and adults, beginners and advanced players alike. Lessons take place at the workshop, surrounded by the instruments.\n\nI trained at the CNIMA with Jacques Mornet, at Jazz à Tours with Florent Sepchat, and in the traditional music department with the team at the Limoges Conservatoire.\n\nThose very different teaching approaches let me build up a varied set of tools, which I now put into practice in my lessons.\n\nLessons last an hour, as often as suits you. We work with or without sheet music, on the pieces you want to tackle, or on pieces I can suggest.\n\n## Do you fit microphones or sound systems?\n\nYes, I fit internal and external microphone systems, in particular from the Harmonik brand, for the stage, the studio or the dance hall.\n\nSince electronic systems generally have a shorter life than the instrument itself, I make sure the installation has as little impact as possible, both visually and functionally. Full details are on the [sound systems](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/services/sonorisation) page.\n\n## Where is the workshop?\n\nThe workshop is in the old town of Uzerche, inside the Hôtel du Sénéchal, a sixteenth-century townhouse. You can park on the street, alongside the building. Uzerche is in the Corrèze, about 30 minutes from Brive and Tulle, 45 minutes from Limoges and 1 hour 15 from Périgueux. The town is served by rail and is a designated stopover village just off the A20 motorway.\n\n## Need a repair?\n\nDescribe your need in a few steps and I'll get back to you quickly. \n\n[Start](https://paulpichot-accordeons.fr/en/devis)\n\nYour request has been sent.\n\nI will get back to you as soon as possible.\n\n## How can I help you?\n\nI'd like a service, a repair or a tuning of my instrumentI'd like an opinion, an inspection or an appraisal of my instrumentI'd like to buy or sell an instrumentI'd like to take lessonsI have another question\nCancel\n\n## What is your instrument?\n\nChromatic accordionDiatonic accordionConcertinaBandoneonOther free reed instrumentHarmonium, melodica...I'm not sureYou'll help me identify it\nBackContinue\n\n## Brand and model\nOptional, but it really helps me.\n\nBrand\n\nI'm not sure \n\nModel\n\nI'm not sure \n\nBackSkipContinue\n\n## What kind of work would you like me to carry out?\nYou can select several.\n\nTuning & voicingTune, retune, adjust the soundRepairFix a specific problemService & maintenanceCheck-up, cleaning, preventive maintenanceRestorationBring an old instrument back to lifeAppraisal & valuationFind out the value of your instrumentModification & amplificationTransform the sound, adapt, add pickups\nBackContinue\n\n## What would you like for the tuning?\nYou can select several.\n\nReview the tuningMake sure everything is well in tuneChange the pitchA=440, A=442...Change the vibratoThe beat of the 2nd flute voice\nBackContinue\n\n## Current vibrato\nAn estimate is enough.\n\nDryDry, no vibratoGesto piùBarely noticeableHalf-swingVery lightSwingModerateAmericanWideCelesteBetween American and musetteMusettePronouncedI'm not sureYou'll advise me\nBackSkipContinue\n\n## Desired vibrato\n\nDryDry, no vibratoGesto piùBarely noticeableHalf-swingVery lightSwingModerateAmericanWideCelesteBetween American and musetteMusettePronouncedI'm not sureYou'll advise me\nBackSkipContinue\n\n## A sound reference?\nAn artist, a piece, a link.

It is an extremely rewarding stage, because it is where the final voice of the instrument is shaped.\nI can talk to you in hertz, in cents or in the usual vibrato names (swing, American, celeste…), but the best approach is probably still to discuss the music you want to play and the styles you want to move towards, drawing on recordings by artists you admire if that helps.\nFrom that conversation, we choose the type of vibrato that suits you best, for a tuning made to measure."

That is exactly what an appraisal is for: identifying where the instrument comes from, estimating its value and the cost of putting it back in order. Sentimental value counts too: it belongs to you alone, but it is never to be dismissed."

Keep it dry and, if you can, avoid standing on it or leaving it in a car boot in high summer. Wrap it in a small emergency blanket if it has to sit in the sun on stage, and try not to tap your cigarette ash into the folds of the bellows.\nBeyond that, an occasional preventive service stops small troubles from turning into major repairs."
