At Squeezebox Marketplace, we specialise in accordions and melodeons — and nothing else.

With over 35 years of experience in the UK squeezebox world, we work closely with leading makers including Pigini, Dino Baffetti, Saltarelle and Brandoni, alongside our own Kingfisher range.

We also supply and source high-quality instruments from respected Italian makers such as Bugari, Fisitalia and Fabio Ballone Burini.

Every instrument we sell is carefully selected, checked, and set up by experienced technicians before it reaches you, ensuring it arrives ready to play and perform as it should.

We have two dedicated showrooms in Boroughbridge and Hungerford, along with additional locations in Glasgow and Orkney where instruments can be tried by appointment.

We regularly attend festivals across the UK, giving players the opportunity to try instruments in real musical settings and get honest, practical advice.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking for your next serious instrument, we’re here to help you choose with confidence — and to make sure you end up with something that truly suits you.

Not sure what accordion to start with? These guides will help you choose the right instrument with confidence: Beginner Accordion Guide | Beginner Melodeon Guide. For many beginners, most people start with instruments like the Kingfisher 30/60 piano accordion and the Hohner Pokerwork melodeon, both offering reliability, playability, and long-term value.

Choosing the right accordion or melodeon is a personal decision — and whenever possible, the best way to be sure is to try one for yourself.

We offer a simple and flexible way to do this, whether that’s visiting one of our showrooms or meeting us at a festival.

For beginners, our Kingfisher rental scheme makes it easy to get started without a large upfront commitment. You can take an instrument home, spend time with it, and build confidence before deciding what’s right for you.

Many players find that once they’ve had a chance to try a properly set up instrument, the right choice becomes much clearer.

If you’d like to arrange a visit or explore rental options, just get in touch — or view our rental scheme to get started.

Choosing the right accordion or melodeon isn’t always straightforward, and a quick conversation can often make things much clearer.

With decades of experience, we can guide you towards an instrument that suits your music, your level, and your budget — without the guesswork.

You can contact us by phone, email, or in person at one of our showrooms or festival events.
