Who are we?
David Beletić is a multi-award winning diatonic accordionist, he has been running a diatonic accordion school for seven years, through his work he recognized an important need – access to quality accordions, both for learning and for professional use. From this idea was born ARPE – a specialized platform for the sale and rental of diatonic accordions operating in Croatia and Slovenia.
Our mission is simple – we want everyone who loves the accordion to be able to get their instrument without stress and waiting. ARPE exists so that you don't have to travel anywhere – your accordion comes straight to you, ready for playing and new musical moments. Just choose the accordion you like, and it will be with you in just a few days.

What is the process for renting an accordion?
The rental procedure is not the same for Slovenia and Croatia, so when you choose an accordion, you will receive all the necessary information depending on where the accordion is being sent.
Should I keep the packaging the accordion came in?
Yes, definitely.
Please keep all the original packaging in which you received the accordion (boxes, protective materials, wrapping). In the case of a return, the accordion must be packed in the same packaging and in the same way in order to be as well protected as possible during transport.
Before returning, we will send you a photo with instructions on how to properly protect the accordion. You are also required to send us a photo of the packaged accordion before sending it back, so that we can verify that it is properly protected.
If the accordion is not packaged in accordance with the instructions we send you, the user assumes full responsibility for any damage incurred during transport and is obliged to cover the cost of repair or – if repair is not possible – the full cost of replacing the accordion.
When will the accordion arrive at my address?
We ship the accordion from Croatia and it arrives in 3-4 business days on average. If, after arranging the documentation, it happens to be sent on a Wednesday, based on our experience so far, it is more likely to arrive on Monday than on Friday.
