Visiting Emilio Allodi at what is now the last remaining accordion shop in London, is to step into another world.

If you have even the slightest notion of playing the accordion, and you happen to be in London, this is the place to go.

But beyond the shelves of gleaming accordions old and new, Emilio does something rare in our current throwaway age; he also repairs accordions, fixing a sticking button, retuning an out of tune reed, or any of the ailments that might trouble an accordionist.
