Accordions has been a bit of a resurgence in popularity lately largely thanks to some bands incorporating folk instruments into their music. Some of us may not be able to find an old accordion in grandma’s attic.
A new entry-level accordion will cost you between $500 and $600. Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as brand, number of buttons, and finishes. Professional models may cost upwards of $15,000.
Piano Accordions
These are the three most popular models, and they can all be purchased through online shops. However, I strongly advocate that you try before buying high-end items like musical instruments. Although Hohner is a popular model and has the highest marks, it might not be for everyone.
INSTRUMENT | Price |
Hohner | $850 |
Sofiamari | $580 |
Rossetti | $700 |
Button Accordions
When putting together a price list, it can be difficult to decide on a style and size for the button accordion. The price of buttons can vary greatly in different sizes, so this chart will focus on the most affordable models.
INSTRUMENT | Price |
Hohner (Diatonic) | $600 |
Alacran (Diatonic) | $650 |
M.Gerarda (Chromatic) | $1800 |
McNeela(Diatonic) | $650 |
Concertina
They are all similar in sound, but have different button layouts. A player wouldn’t be able to pick up a German model to play if he didn’t know how to play an English concertina.
INSTRUMENT | Price |
Hohner (German) | $250 |
Musicians Gear (Anglo) | $260 |
Wren (Anglo) | $500 |
Sparrow (English). | $600 |
Final Thoughts
Before you can even think about the price, you need to be clear on what you are looking for. Consider the following and do your research:
- What type of music do you want to listen?
- Accordion and Concertina
- Piano Style or Button Style
- Chromatic or Diatonic
- Bisonoric and Unisonoric
Once you have decided on the items, start looking for brands that offer to buy accordions that match your needs.
