At HKAM(A) we do provide an instrument for our students. However, to be able to practice at home, you will need to buy one for your own. Alternatively, you can rent an accordion from our school. More information on how to rent or buy the instrument can be received at our school.

We can help you to buy one for you! HKAM(A) has stable and long-lasting connections with known Italian accordion factories. Because of long-time relations, we can obtain the accordion from the factory at a much lower price. Also, we can help you order the correct type of accordion suitable for your particular needs such as size, range, keyboard type, weight, etc. You can refer to our Accordion Store section.

You may pay online on our website, by ATM transfer, cheque, or cash during your lesson.

Usually, the delivery time is one to three months. Depends on the model, complexity, etc. For instance - the FREE BASS accordion will need to have more time to produce the STANDARD BASS accordion. Another thing is - you can get your instrument earlier if the factory has some models in stock. Also, consider public/summer holidays.

If you got the accordion, please make a picture or video WHILE you're actually opening the box. So we may have the evidence that the damage was caused in the process of delivery. We do have a warranty in that case. You will get another new accordion as soon as possible!

Yes, we will issue an official receipt for your purchase from HKAM(A).

This is a good question. First, you need to know how far you're going to go in learning the accordion. We may recommend you buy a more advanced instrument with at least 96 BASS keys. Also, you may want to learn the FREE BASS accordion to be able to play classical songs. So the advice is - to buy a more advanced accordion even if you are a beginner. Later you will have more room to improve your playing skills.

Students can start as early as two years old! We have student range from 2 to 65 years old. The most important thing is actually willing to study the instrument. It is never too late (or too early )) for you to learn as long as you have the means and the opportunity to do so. If you are interested in learning and have the willingness and time to do so, you should take the chance to learn.
