I have been taking my accordions to Michael Arralde for 30 years. Simply, he is the best. His work is excellent, his prices fair, and -- in an extraordinary fashion -- he understands what each accordion means to its owner. He communicates clearly and in a timely fashion, and is always willing to shape priorities to meet the needs of -- say -- a professional musician who desperately needs his or her accordion fixed quickly. He has never let me down. He is patient, positive, and it is always a pleasure to hang out with him, talk story, try out different accordions. He loves accordions and he will love yours.

My 60s-vintage little 5/6 scale x 120 bass red Nobility rescue case from years ago was a trifle beat-up from flying as luggage. After a stay with Mr. Arralde, ITS LIKE BRAND NEW! Great work on an instrument we both thought might be deceptively good!

Michael Arralde treated me and my accordion with an enormous amount of respect. He was knowledgeable about my specific accordion, discussed its features and areas of improvement in detail, and went above and beyond in both the diagnosis and the service itself.I came in to have a stuck key fixed and he went the extra mile with the rest of my keyboard and vacuumed out my case. I felt valued and respected as a customer, and the price was extremely reasonable.I cant stress enough how surprised and satisfied I was by this service. Thank you, Michael.

I purchased a used accordion 2 years ago from Michael. After 2 years of use the bass switch was not functional anymore so I took it to Petosa accordions for a quick fix. Their cost estimate was more than half of what I purchased the accordion for. So I brought the accordion back to Mr. Arralde and he told me he would fix it for free. He then offered me a upgraded accordion better suited for my music style and offered to take off exactly what I had paid for the older accordion. Michael Arralde accordion is the absolute best used accordion dealer and is the smarter choice for beginners and even advanced players who dont want to spend 10s of thousands of dollars on a new, name brand accordion.

Highly trained and skilled professional! Michael repaired and musette tuned my old Crucianelli to absolute perfection! Im extremely pleased with the results and his attention to detail!

Michael is the man to see. He knows everyone (worth knowing), and everyone (worth knowing) knows him! He does an amazing job, and his fees are fair. Make sure he plays something for you, because hes a truly amazing musician.Thanks for my new instruments, Michael!P.S. He does not use email, so you must call him.

Best accordion shop! He is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! Highly recommend! This is definitely the place to go for accordions!

Excellent services very professional. Money well spent. Wouldnt have anybody else work on midi zupan accordian. Thank you so much Michael Arralde.

Michael repaired one of my new accordions that I dropped and cracked the celluloid. After his repair you could not even tell that it had been damaged! Amazing accordion repairs. I use Michael for all of my accordion needs!

Mike is a very amazing and skillful craftsmen and accordion technician..I like Mikes personality and self discipline at work... This guy put his heart and best in at the bench to make every instrument and customer right ..I can only say good things to discuss about Michael Arraldes Accordion Shop in Kent... He uses no 2nd best alternatives in his responsibilities to making every accordion being No. 1 ...You simply find no better in NW Washington anywhere...

Superb skill, knowledge, and conscientiousness. I use Mike for all my diatonic button accordion repairs and rebuild work. No place else Id even consider going. Major repairs (eg replace bellows or reed sets) as well as the little things that go wrong. Nobody anywhere (incl the vaunted Button Box, back in Mass) has better knowledge of how to make a box tight and leak-free. On one occasion I purchased a pretty old Hohner 2-row box, but leaky and in keys I wasnt seeking. Mike got a new bellows and new reeds, and made all the bellows seals and flapper valves leak-free. Brought the whole thing in at well under the cost of new, for far better condition. A true dedicated craftsman!

Ive been going to michael for about 10 yrs and he has done alot of work on a couple of my accordions. He does a great job in a very fast turnaround time. Wouldnt trust anyone else with my gabbanellis. No other place in the state with this service.
