I'm very picky and wanted a particular type of accordion, but I wanted to get my hands on it before purchasing. I flew across the country and arrived on a Tuesday, the first day of the week the shop is open. I should've predicted how busy it would be, but the staff were very patient as I tried about 10 different accordions and found the perfect one for me. I'm very happy with my purchase and with all the help I received from Liberty Bellows. I will definitely go here again for future purchases.

I was so excited to go here and get an accordion. I drove hours to get here and played a few different accordions and picked one out I loved the sound of. It was a used Excelsior that I was told was fully refurbished, but it gave me nothing but problems for months between constant issues with the bass buttons and the pickup system working only half the time. As a gigging musician it caused serious issues for quite a few shows because there was always something going wrong with it. Turns out the entire bass mechanism wasn’t glued properly in place, among other things like poorly patched cracks, and when I called Liberty Bellows saying how many things were wrong with it and how the pickups don’t work correctly the way it should’ve when I bought it, they said they’d replace the pickup for $450. Considering they promised the accordion was in perfect working order when I bought it, I was so angry they would charge me full price for a new mic installation instead of fixing their own shoddy “repair” job. That’s when I decided to take the accordion to someone else, and he was mortified they sold it to me in the shape it was in, especially at the $2,700 price I paid for it. Turns out he frequently has people bring him accordions from Liberty Bellows, and my experience is not uncommon. It will now cost around $1,000 to fully and PROPERLY repair.
Liberty Bellows has great stock of so many different accordions, but that means nothing if any “refurbished” ones have a boatload of issues they don’t fix as promised.
So heartbroken over this experience, and that when they had the chance to fix their own mistakes, they didn’t. I won’t be going back. :(

Thank you for my accordion! Spoke to Mike I believe to ask questions before purchasing my Corona Xtreme. He helped me out with the questions and concerns I had and helped me make my decision. Shipping was on time and the accordion showed up in in one piece and in prestine condition! I recommend this place

A great place to buy an accordion. The selection is awesome, and the staff consists of helpful people who patiently help, answer questions, and demonstrate their accordions. LB repairs on site and online orders arrive quickly and safely. I live three hours away and have made several daytrips to buy accordions, and have purchased online as well. The owner, Mike, really stands by his products. One might find a cheaper price online for a used accordion, but buying this way is always a gamble. Liberty Bellows inspects every accordion they sell --whether in-person or online. Its the place to buy an accordion!
