The AC301 range of melodeon microphones gives you a fantastic powerful rich tone.
High-Fidelity Electronics:
The circuitry of the AC301-HQ has high-end electronic components and amplifiers with the lowest noise, with high precision and low harmonic distortion, producing excellent sound fidelity. The AC301-HQ uses the latest electronic manufacturing processes, which ensure a product of high quality and finish.
Uniform Sound Capture:
With three directional microphones for the right hand and one omnidirectional microphone for the bass, this system is able to capture the full extension of keys at the same level, from the lowest to the highest notes.
High Feedback Resistance:
The AC301-HQ is a system with high feedback resistance, as the combination of its directional microphones with high fidelity electronics enables the system to ignore external sound by up to 20dB.
Reliability:
The AC301-HQ system uses a Neutrik® jack socket, which guarantees the musician the best electrical contact the moment the cable is plugged in. The high quality, sealed potentiometers prevent any dust particles from entering into the electrical contacts. In addition, the AC301-HQ uses the highest-standard locking connectors, ensuring the best connection quality.
Versatility and Invisibility:
Available with either a mono or stereo output. If you select the mono version then the output is a sum of both hands on a single channel. If you choose the stereo version then the output is a stereo jack socket, giving independent signals for the left and right channels.
This system possesses the versatility to be adapted to melodeons of any size. The AC301-HQ has no need for external circuits in order to work, simply requiring a standard jack cable. No need for phantom power – just plug and play!

Murray has just done a great job repairing and servicing my Dad's melodeon. Excellent job and would highly recommend. Andy and Brian Beal

Thanks to Murray for the excellent Harmonik 5001 accordion pickup, neatly fitted on-time. Outstanding - recommend it to fellow accordionists.

I was struggling to know how best to acquire an accordion that wasn't too expensive, yet would be easy to use as a beginner and would sound good. A friend recommended The Reed Lounge and I left a message on the site, saying what I was after. The next day I had a phone call from Murray saying that he had just got this Hohner Student V in (it hadn't been put up on the site at that point) and I could have first refusal on it.
I had it as a Christmas present from my family (it arrived free of charge to my home in Plymouth in a matter of days) and it has been absolutely perfect. I have played it every day since then and am progressing in leaps and bounds. It is a beautiful instrument and is proving to be excellent for me to learn on - especially as it has just 48 bass keys. I was very intimidated by all those black buttons!
I am so pleased as I would otherwise have probably bought a new Chinese model at a similar price, which I'm sure would have been no where near as good.
Another good thing about the Hohner, Murray says, is that it will hold it's value should I want to upgrade at some point. I can see that after a few months I may well need a few additional keys and bass notes...
I am absolutely delighted and I would heartily recommend putting your trust in the Reed Lounge for finding you the perfect accordion for your needs.

In an ideal world one would pick up and play an instrument before laying out good money. But this is a Covid world and physical contact is a thing of the past so I had to put my trust in Murray.
In phone calls and emails he was most helpful. He made a recording so that I could hear the difference between the two boxes and make my decision.
It arrived, very well packed and I was delighted.
There is, however, a problem with two buttons - one won't sound on the pull and the other is silent on the push. Fortunately neither are frequently used notes - for me at any rate, I am an absolute novice. I called Murray to report the fault and he said he could fix it easily in minutes.
I'm sure he can. When able to, I intend to drive the 200 miles or so to meet Murray. Hopefully I'll be able to watch him do the fix. And I look forward to shaking his hand. I love my Lachenal. Thank you Murray.

Just received a gorgeous Maugein acordion from Murray, excellent condition, beyond my expectations for a small model...
I was quite nervous buying over the Internet with what to me was a large sum of money but Murray never bullied me or used hard sell tactics, he put my nerves re couriers, complaints at rest with his totally professional yet friendly manner and witjin days i am thrilled to be playing such a lovely box, playability and sound perfectly as described... Can't recommended enough especially after some experiences ive had in the past... Many thanks

I think accordions are each rather unique so sound and play very differently. I don't think you can beat trying out as many as possible with different tunings and sizes to narrow the field ahead of making an appointment to try them out at the Reed Lounge before purchase. That was my experience, and Murray was extremely helpful in providing great advice. I'm still getting used to my new accordion, but I think I am already becoming a better player for having it. My audiences love it too, because the tone is very pure and well balanced. I have no hesitation in recommending The Reed Lounge.

I went to buy a piano accordian for my son. I had no previous idea of what to buy. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and explained all my options very clearly and patiently. No hard sell. The service was excellent would buy from there again.

Pleasant and straightforward experience, with reasonable shipping time. My only regret is the apparent unavailability of the companion book, too.

I am very happy with this system. It gives a clear pure tone and is very simple to use, no messy wires. Murray fitted it in a few hours. Great service.
