I've been researching old Soprani Inc. accordions, which seem to have been sold in America in the 1930's, likely made in Italy. The answer to your question completely depends on the condition of your Accordion. If it is in perfect condition cosmetically on the outside, that doesn't mean it is worth anything to an accordion collector who wishes to play it. Old accordions are typically in need of a great deal of work on the inside to make them reliably playable and in tune. If there is any rust on the reeds, the instrument is likely worth very little, as rust is like cancer and renders the reeds useless. Rust on reeds cannot be properly removed. The other two expensive issues are the wax inside, which typically breaks down over time, and reed tuning. Unless the instrument has been waxed in the last few years and tuned, it will cost a minimum of $1500-$2500 to re-wax and tune. If, however, the instrument is cosmetically nearly perfect, and the interior looks clean and rust-free, collectors may wish to purchase it and restore it. In that case, it may be worth $200-$600.

How much is a 100 year old accordion worth?

Probably not as much as you think. Chances are it was not regularly maintained, so its playing value is probably non-existent. If it is a beautiful piece it might be worth something to somebody. it really depends on the what kind of shape it is in. Tuning an accordion is a difficult process which can often cost 1,000$ for an overhall, and the chances are the accordion would be worth less than if tuning was invested in the accordion. If it is an average 100 year old accordion you might get 200$ for it on ebay.

Accordions that are 100 years old won't be worth a lot as they will require a lot of repairing and tuning. It will cost you a lot of money to repair it so you would be better off keeping it. If you can play this accordion, then it might worth something but if not it's not worth your while trying to sell it.

How much is accordion worth?

Determining how much your accordion is worth basically boils down to a few factors such as size, playing condition, age and model. Playing condition ties in with the age of your accordion as the older the accordion the less its worth. It will also depend on what conditions the accordion was stored in because if there wasn't proper care taken in storing this musical instrument such as extreme heat or cold then it would be damaged requiring repair which will lower the value of your instrument. Size is another factor since beginner accordions, button or piano accordions, are smaller accordions to help beginners learn this musical instrument. Professional full sized instruments will obviously command a higher price in comparison to beginner accordions.
