Some years ago I was given an old and very tired accordion by a family member. I took it to Robert at Manfrini Accordions and I was met in a very friendly, open manner. After having a look at it, Robert took it in and a short while later he had transformed it into a superb instrument which is still in use by my some son today. Since then I have bought several Manfrini instruments all beautifully made and tuned to suit my own preferences. Nothing was too much trouble for Robert and with great patience he listened to what I wanted and offered advice and recommendations where possible. Robert is a truly excellent instrument technician for any repairs and tuning on all types of accordion. I have seen Patrick at work on the reed blocks and it is a such a pleasure to watch; such care and attention to detail is part of what puts Manfrini accordions at the top. Manfrini is where I will always go for anything accordion related. Robert and Patrick are real gentlemen who take time out to hear what you have to say and offer solid advice while making the best accordions. The coffee is always good too.

I have just taken delivery of my new manfrini artisan special 37,/120 4 musette accordion and I am absolutely delighted with it Roberts reputation as an accordion tuner is well known so I had total confidence in him. I told him what I wanted and he gave me exactly what I asked for. The accordion is a joy to play with a rich full musette and a slick fast keyboard to match. He is a gentleman to deal with. And has a wealth of experience and knowledge. All I can say is if you are in the market for a new accordion give Robert a call. Highly recommended.
I contacted Robert after seeing he had a secondhand Vignoni 120 bass compact double cassotto (fantastic wheeled case included) for sale. He hosted a video call to demonstrate the instrument and also showed me the inside of it. He answered all of my questions and concerns about buying a secondhand instrument without being able to try it out first and with the knowledge that I could send it back with a full refund within 14 days prompted me to buy it. It arrived a couple of days later, it was well packaged surrounded in polystyrene in a box, the bass section had been stabilised with 2 strips of cardboard inside. I was really impressed with the care that had been taken. Not a mark on it, it looked like a brand new accordion and plays like one. I’m so pleased with it and can’t praise the service enough. Many thanks
My accordion needed tuning/servicing-after Robert did the work, it plays like a brand new instrument, both the tuning and the tone quality. Costs in line for skilled technician/craftsman work. Would very highly recommend
I recently had my 20 year old Borsini K9 overhauled by Robert and Patrick. The accordion had never been serviced in all the time I've had it and it's been gigged continuously during that time, including when people used to be able to smoke in venues so you can only imagine what it must have been like inside. It’s been around the block a few times! They removed all the reeds from the blocks - treble and bass, cleaned them, re-valved, re-waxed them in and re-tuned the whole accordion. There were some minor repairs done to other parts too. I really do have to say that it's like a new box. The difference is amazing and it’s never sounded better. I’ve known Robert for many years and bought several accordions from him and every time he’s gone the extra mile to make sure I was happy with them and were just what I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble. He’s always been a pleasure to deal with and his knowledge of accordions must surely be difficult to match. I can say categorically that the quality of Robert and Patrick's work is absolutely first class and I highly recommend them for any work needing done to your accordion. Thanks again!!
