Very pleased with the detailed work and the excellent value of repairs on two accordions. I’m a lifetime player and am beyond satisfied that Ben brought my 66 year old 120 bass Sonart back to near new condition. My mom bought it for me when I was nine years old. I truly appreciate that Ben facilitated the delivery and pick up in Portland, Maine since I live in additional two hours up the coast. I’m grateful that Ben is a resource to accordion players in the New England area. I fully recommend using his shop. I’m back to being a daily player once again!

I recently bought an old accordion that needed some repairs, and I was thrilled to learn that we have a very talented accordion repair person right here in Maine! (It had looked like the closest option was Philadelphia). Ben took care of my accordion's immediate issues quickly, and recommended a little extra service to make it sound much better. He also explained the inner workings of the accordion and gave me a much better idea of what I had in this old accordion, rescued from a high school music room closet. After he worked on the accordion, he showed me around the instrument a bit (I am an absolute beginner), and it definitely sounded better after his repairs. He's clearly a gifted accordionist as well... when he was playing my accordion to evaluate it before he worked on it, we didn't want him to stop! Ben's rates are very reasonable, he is friendly and knowledgeable, and clearly loves accordions and has a gift for repairing and reviving them. His talent and enthusiasm for teaching were clear just from his explanation of how accordions work. I'm looking forward to starting to take online lessons with him!
