I think accordions are each rather unique so sound and play very differently. I don't think you can beat trying out as many as possible with different tunings and sizes to narrow the field ahead of making an appointment to try them out at the Reed Lounge before purchase. That was my experience, and Murray was extremely helpful in providing great advice. I'm still getting used to my new accordion, but I think I am already becoming a better player for having it. My audiences love it too, because the tone is very pure and well balanced. I have no hesitation in recommending The Reed Lounge.
I ordered (payed via PayPal) Elastic Buckle Cover for Accordion Straps on Oct 3,2019, but it is not delivered yet. I'm still waiting.
Absolutely delighted with my Borsini. I'd been looking for a quality accordion, at the right price, for some time and the Borsini fitted the bill perfectly.
Murray at The Reed Lounge has been great to deal with.
Overall, a great experience. I would definitely recommend.
I needed a back plate for a Pigini. The day it was delivered Murray happened to be going South to be a tutor at a workshop which I was going to. He kindly brought the back plate with him and I was able to get it fitted by a repairer who was running his shop at the event.
A very nice job all round!
This accordion is perfect for me. I had a 48bass and wanted a greater range of chords but didn't want a heavier instrument as I could only just pick up the 48bass. This compact 60bass is exactly what I needed and it has a much mellower tone which I love. Because of Covid I wasn't able to visit Reed Lounge to try it before purchase but I was confident that any instrument Murray was selling would be in perfect condition. And it is.
Despite being the end of the day at a music performance festival, Murray Grainger was very helpful in helping me choose and purchase a new accordion case. Excellent service.
I am very happy with this system. It gives a clear pure tone and is very simple to use, no messy wires. Murray fitted it in a few hours. Great service.
Impulse buys are often disastrous, but no regrets over my quick-fire decision to part exchange my DG Loffet for a Saltarelle upgrade. An excellent deal. Five-star service
They made sure there was somebody to welcome us at a time to suit us.
Friendly, helpful and informative assistant.
Instrument in great condition at a fair price.
I was struggling to know how best to acquire an accordion that wasn't too expensive, yet would be easy to use as a beginner and would sound good. A friend recommended The Reed Lounge and I left a message on the site, saying what I was after. The next day I had a phone call from Murray saying that he had just got this Hohner Student V in (it hadn't been put up on the site at that point) and I could have first refusal on it.
I had it as a Christmas present from my family (it arrived free of charge to my home in Plymouth in a matter of days) and it has been absolutely perfect. I have played it every day since then and am progressing in leaps and bounds. It is a beautiful instrument and is proving to be excellent for me to learn on - especially as it has just 48 bass keys. I was very intimidated by all those black buttons!
I am so pleased as I would otherwise have probably bought a new Chinese model at a similar price, which I'm sure would have been no where near as good.
Another good thing about the Hohner, Murray says, is that it will hold it's value should I want to upgrade at some point. I can see that after a few months I may well need a few additional keys and bass notes...
I am absolutely delighted and I would heartily recommend putting your trust in the Reed Lounge for finding you the perfect accordion for your needs.
The Hetetique 1st CD was on Murray's stall at Halsway Manor, I paid by card, got receipt by email & got added to Reed Lounge mailing list. I am also enjoying the CD (!). A well oiled system.
Item as described and of very good quality. Arrived before estimated date, no hesitation in using Reed Lounge in future.
Pleasant and straightforward experience, with reasonable shipping time. My only regret is the apparent unavailability of the companion book, too.
Always friendly, helpful advice and quick delivery. Murray has a wealth of experience and is an easy and patient chap to talk things out with.
Reed Lounge looking good with very competitive prices. Thanks Murray for being so helpful. Can't wait for my new Mory to arrive.
Bought a lovely little Pigini piano accordion. It is beautifully balanced for weight and plays very easily with a sweet reed tone.
Top quality work done on my accordion. Good coffee and chat too. All good. A nice range of instruments to try out, too.
I am new to the concertina but Murray was really helpful and had a great selection of Anglo concertinas
I am really happy with the one I bought and and enjoying playing it
I got help and some explanation on how to play as well. Plus I can email for help if needed! I felt comfortable that I was getting good advice.
Thanks to Murray for the excellent Harmonik 5001 accordion pickup, neatly fitted on-time. Outstanding - recommend it to fellow accordionists.
Ordered a accordion tune book which I couldn't find in other shops, and it arrived quickly as and as advertised. Would recommend :)
Murray has just done a great job repairing and servicing my Dad's melodeon. Excellent job and would highly recommend. Andy and Brian Beal
Very fast delivery of a very secure parcel. The item was very well protected and took a while to unwrap.
It was an easy task to pinpoint the item I was looking for. The person I was dealing with had the matter sorted very quickly.
Loved the personal service and well worth the journey. Found the melodeon that was just right for me at the right price.
Website was easy to navigate and find what I wanted to buy, ordering process was easy and order was received quickly.
I am very pleased with the service and advice I received. I am also very happy with my new accordion. Thanks
At The Reed Lounge we provide the finest selection of free reed instruments. Specialist advice available for accordion, melodeon, concertina.
Hi thank you for your kind review. Unfortunately there never was a companion book, it was only ever a DVD.
