Post subject: | Source of Accordion reeds |
I know it's slightly off topic but I'm looking for a supplier of new accordion reeds to have a play with, they're not to repair an instrument so the brand is academic. Have any of you knowledgeable people come across such things? |

Hello Greg, The manufacturers such as Hohner & Weltmeister (sold through Sunderlands) will supply reeds but it works out expensive. It would be cheaper to buy an old knackered accordion on ebay & use the reeds from that. Another option is somewhere like Hobgoblin music who specialise in reconditioning old instruments. I hope this helps. Cheers, Rob. |

Thanks Rob, I suspected it would be cheaper to cannibalise an Accordion and have my eye on some on Ebay, but thought it worth asking in case I was missing a cheap source of new ones. Regards Greg Rob Barker wrote: Hello Greg,

Hi Greg Do you specifically want accordian reeds? I have reeds from (I think) a Harmonium. Free for collection or pay postage. Arthur Nichols |
