Have you been playing for some time or are you just starting?
The price range of accordions is mind blowing, if you are starting new this would have a big bearing on your decision.Look up Saltarelle or http://wwwaccordionlinks.com, http://wwwIrishbuttonaccordion.
Martin Connolly (brother of Seamus, Boston based fiddler) makes accordions. I'm not sure of his full address but he lives in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland.
On the subject of accordians, ive got one im trying to sell, I dont think its a really good one, some sort of chinese import, 48 bass keys. If anyone in the edinburgh area is looking to buy one cheaply or cos theyr just begining then get in touch. Im looking for

Hi accordion: Have a look at http://www.freezone.co.uk/oneillmusic/index1V.htm for a good range of accordions from 1 row melodions to 3 & 5 row midi at reasonable prices. I teach music and send my pupils there to get kitted out. they also let you part exchange any other type of instrument. Good if you can't settle on a instrument.
Why buy a new one? I suspect accordions need to be played in for a year or two and no two are ever alike.
Buy a cheapo one to learn on, then play every accordion that comes along but wait as long as it takes until the right one appears (may be a year or two). You will be able to tell if the right one inspires you to play for half an hour.
I play a Marrinuchi musette piano 120 bass (40 plus years old) and have played them straight from the factory and they are not the same.
I've got two button boxes for sale. I'm selling because I've just purchased a "new" one and need to sell the others to help cover the cost.
The better of the two is a very new (not sure how new, but not a scratch on it, no visible wear at all) Hohner Black Dot Double Ray, "Irish Style," B-C two row, button accordion with a new case and single new, padded, leather shoulder strap.
The second is an old Beaver single row Eb box which still works with the exception of one of the treble reeds. It does have some leakage and will need some attention if it is to be played much. Both were made in Germany.
Boscado,
Many thanks for your reccomodation for me for the box for " accordion ".
I think you & any sensible body will agree that buying a seccond hand box ( by a beginner ) for a beginner is not a " pick it up it's cheap & will do to be getting on with "
is a good recipe for an early end.
A player with some experience can know if a reed or MORE is out OR GOING OUT, many beginners NO. So you learn on an out of tune box to save VERY LITTLE money & dicover those are not the notes you need. From behind the counter I see many of the " hard luch " tales
A brand new instrument has to be pretty perfect & under guarantee & under £200 in case or better European Q. arond £300 in C. A Hohner Bl. Dot rrp £465 but usually heavily discounted. I DID NOT say all s.h are bad some are better than new ones from the point of view that they tend to not be so stiff to pull out /in
