French manufacture of accordina
Accordina Joseph Carrel
Welcome to our website dedicated to Joseph Carrel accordinas made in France in the Charente-Maritime department.
The Joseph Carrel accordina is a true return to the sources
The complete manufacturing being done in our workshop, we have made technical and innovative improvements. With quality materials favoring a very warm and powerful sound with a fluid keyboard.
While respecting Mr André Borel Creator.
Our accordinas have now been fitted since 2025 with our new FULL INOX Carrel reeds of superior quality, unmatched to date.
On an accordion the quality of the reeds is essential for the longevity of the instrument.
It took us several years to manufacture these new reeds with a high level of requirement. By using very high quality stainless steel, they are stronger and above all rustproof, compared to Italian reeds which tend to rust and therefore break, due to poor quality stainless steel!
In addition, thanks to a unique process, the cutting of our blades is carried out without any deformation or constraint. This guarantees them superior robustness and longevity.
Extremely tight adjustment tolerances for exceptional sound and responsiveness.
These FULL INOX reeds are only available from Joseph Carrel and exclusively!!!

ABOUT
The Joseph Carrel accordina: is love at first sight, a dream, a destiny!
It is as a seller, restorer of old musical instruments, that I discovered this curious instrument called "the accordina", which was invented by Mr André Borel in the 1950s.
At 33, it was for me a flash back, which brought me back to the age of 8 with my famous chromatic accordion lessons.
Unbelievable ! Such a small instrument allowing to play almost any style of music with so many possible and unimaginable combinations.
And that's when I decided to make my own accordinas to give them a particularly warm and spellbinding sound.
But you might say "you don't make an accordina overnight". It took me 4 years of studies, plans, prototypes and multiple searches for materials for it's design.
Without forgetting what especially allowed me to acquire an extraordinary acoustic quality: it is the connivance that I maintain with the musicians, whom I warmly thank, because without them the instrument would have been only too personal.
And like that Joseph Carrel accordinas are born!
Since 2011, I have devoted myself exclusively to the manufacture of accordina in my workshop located in Bords in Charente - Maritime.
