We are pleased to be able to announce that we have just taken a top quality Ranco Supervox 120 bass accordion into stock. This stunning professional standard accordion is a full size 120 bass 41 treble key model, and is tuned to a four voice musette, making it ideal for the French and Scottish styles of playing.
One of the main things that attracts players to the Ranco Supervox, is the outstanding quality of the reeds, making this a very sought after accordion. Our particular example benefits from having just undergone a full restoration in our workshop. This Ranco Supervox is presented for sale in very good cosmetic condition for its age, and finished in a high gloss black, and features a very attractive full decoration.
The Ranco Supervox would make an ideal accordion for the professional player, or indeed, the discerning amateur, and would be the perfect ceilidh box. This classic accordion is reasonably priced at only £2,995, so why not visit us today and try it out for yourself!

ITALY TRIP
We are pleased to say that bookings for the Italy Trip are going very well. Enquiries have been made from the USA, Canada and the latest is from Australia. Should be an excellent venture.
Here at The Accordion Shop, we are pleased to announce that we have just taken a classic Hohner Gola into stock. This highly sought after, top quality accordion is widely regarded to be one of the finest accordions ever produced, and nowadays costs in excess of £31,000 to buy new.
The Hohner Gola is a full size accordion with 120 bass buttons and 41 treble keys, and features an extremely straight four voice double octave tuning, making it ideal for the classical and jazz styles of playing.
This world class accordion also boasts some of the finest hand made reeds ever produced, as well as a double cassotto chamber, which together help to create a unique rich sound, which somehow manages to be both bright and powerful and warm and mellow at the same time.
Our particular Hohner Gola is a relatively early model, having left the Hohner factory in the German town of Trossingen on the 21st of March 1960. This stunning accordion is currently undergoing a full internal and external restoration in our workshop, (including a full refurbish of the gold plating) which is being undertaken by a former Hohner workshop manager using only original Hohner parts.
This stunning example of this incredible accordion will shortly be coming into stock, following its extensive rebuild. Offers in excess of £12,500 are invited. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further details on 01344 873717 or via email at sales@theaccordionshop.co.uk

We are sad to have to say that our Sunningdale shop has been broken into and 40 accordions, our computers and accessories have been stolen.
Likely to have been carried out by an organised gang, they knew what instruments they wanted, taking mainly Italian accordions of high quality from makers, Cooperativa, Excelsior, Paolo Soprani, Scandalli. Etc.
Please see the full list below with links of individual details for each accordion.
We are pleased to say that we are still trading from both the Sunningdale and Rochdale shops, as we still have plenty of accordions in stock, although being stored off our premises until we add further security. So if you are looking to visit us, please contact us before hand so that we may bring to the shop the models of accordions you could be interested in.
Should you be offered any of the accordions listed, or are suspicious of any adverts you may see online etc, please contact our Sunningdale shop on 01344 873717
