Accordion tuner & repairer near Tulle
A workshop dedicated to the accordion in Uzerche
30 minutes from Tulle
Do you live in Tulle or its surrounding area? I welcome you to my workshop in Uzerche, a 30-minute drive away, for the repair, tuning and sale of chromatic and diatonic accordions. Whether your instrument needs a service, a reed replacement or a complete restoration, I take the time to understand your needs to deliver careful work. I also keep a stock of serviced second-hand accordions, ready to play.
Tulle and the accordion go back a long way: the Maugein factory, the last French accordion manufacturer, has been based here since 1919. Instruments still come out of it, and plenty more sleep in the houses around Tulle. I see them come through the workshop regularly, alongside the Italians and all the rest, chromatic and diatonic alike. I trained in Castelfidardo, at Victoria, in the Italian cradle of accordion making; the Maugeins taught me something else, and I love the ones as much as the others.
The workshop is in Uzerche, 25 minutes from Tulle on the N120, no toll. Same drive from Naves, Laguenne or Sainte-Fortunade. I work by appointment.
Repair, tuning, servicing
I handle the full range of work: repair and restoration, tuning and voicing to suit your touch and your repertoire, servicing for instruments that get a lot of use, at dances or in lessons. One piece of advice that holds for any accordion left unplayed for a long time: don't force it, get it diagnosed first. A check-up always costs less than damage made worse.
Buying, selling
Second-hand accordions overhauled at the workshop are available to try and to buy. If you're selling yours, I can value it, take it in part-exchange or on consignment. And for any enquiry, the quote form is still the best way in: a description, photos, a quick reply, no obligation.
