Important

Each participant will work on an accordion during the course. We suggest that you bring your own accordion.

If you cannot bring your accordion (for reasons related to travel or other), we can provide you with an accordion to work on during the course at no additional fee. Just let us know upon signing up by filling the dedicated form you’ll see in the checkout page.

For time management reasons, it is NOT possible to work on button accordion and/or cassotto and/or converter at Tier 1 (while it is possible starting from Tier 2). If this is your accordion, like in the previous case we can provide you with an accordion to work on during the course at no additional fee. Just let us know upon signing up by filling the dedicated form you’ll see in the checkout page.

Additional notes

Each participant will receive a complimentary Repairing Kit at the course.
The learning programme includes a visit to an accordion and/or part manufacturering facility.
Do you have more than one accordion? Feel free to bring them to the course, especially if they are in need of maintenance and/or repair. We can include them as part of the course practice and while you learn they will receive a tune-up!
