Hello, were are you located?

You talk too much ! Why do You not show what You are doing instead ? Bad show !!!

Hi Rich, can you please share the name of the song you played at the beginning of the video on the 100 years old melodion? Thank you for the videos, they are very helpful !

Ah, this is what my old rescue is. 120 bass though. No idea on the history. Would love to be able to share so pictures so you could see her.

Nicely done Rich.

I'm glad you are going to show the how's of how to tune.

I seem to have an old memory of the pallets being held on with wax?

Did I miss the nails going back in?

Very interesting. Is there a reason for the different colours of valves? Imwhat is the reason for the two pieces of valve material? Is the valve wax just beeswax? Told you there would be loads of questions.

Another clear video Rich, thanks. At the end there it looked like some of the reeds still had huge gaps. Was that just down to lighting? Also, are of the reeds the same, or did you number them when they came out so you know which position they go back in on the next video? 😂

Thanks Rich. Gives me some inspiration to get on with mine.

Fantastic Richard. Watched the whole lot in one sitting and will start work on my new/old toy tomorrow. Would have liked to see how you adjusted the pallet to vary the key height but I think I can figure it out. You tube was designed for helpful people like you. Thank you very much.

Fantastic job, Rich. You have a real magic with accordions.

Ukraina language Браво! Гарна робота! Будь ласка підкажіть яка пропорція води та миючого засобу?

Thanks Rich, being able to do simple rivetting and poppers appears essential to give the right look on straps etc - I'll have to get the kits

Is this accodion sold?

A style?

Thanks 😊

Love the window style 🪟 register indicators on these old boxes

Thank you for your informative videos. Can you direct me to one that describes replacement of Reed leathers? Thank you.

You scared me with the title... I thought you were going to open Pandora's Box and go after the bass button assembly. I think I spent a week in there messing with those 120 actuators, trying to figure out why they were binding. A man could truly get lost in there and require a search party to get him out, LOL. Still enjoying my old accordion and I'm not convinced I'll buy a new one. So much fun!

What kind of glue should I use? Also what kind of glue for the metal corners? Thanks

Hello, do you think this method could work with a celluloid photo album cover? I have parts popping up and I would like them to lay flat so they don't chip off but I'm unfamiliar with celluloid

I thought this was about chocolate.

Currently thinking about getting a 1910s accordion to learn repair/accordion on. These videos really show the amount of work needed and how to get it done. I wonder if I can do it myself...

Sounds great

Hey there Rich, I think that's three sets of middle Reed playing as opposed to two. I can tell by the sound of the Tremolo

I've gotten the hang of tuning but I'm having trouble with tuning the second voice reeds to get the right tremolo effect. Do you start by tuning both reeds to concert pitch then tune the tremolo reed up little by little checking until it sounds right? Should both reeds together register on a tuner perfect on the note or will it be slightly offset because of the tremolo?

Is that “those were the days” at the end lol, I recognize one finally 😂

🎉 I just scraped the wax off the bass reeds of my prewar Scandalli. Did the gaskets last night - waiting for more bellows pins to come in to fill missing ones

Thanks for your videos. Trying to repair a hohner concerto 2 now so i can finally sell it :D

.

Hi! Are you mixing soap with the water in the ultrasonic cleaner for better cleaning, or is it to make it an alkaline solution to prevent rust ? Have you had any issue getting reeds in water that way, or is it really safe with soap and proper drying?

nice work!

Ah I’m doing this right now on my prewar Scandalli. I glued each pallet to some 1.6 mm felt, and then each felted pallet to some chamois cloth. Hopefully I get a good seal

Hellow Mr. Edrawds. I was wondering if there is a way to revive old felt and leather on treble pallets without removing them in order to make them more quiet. Do you have any Idea? I was thinking about dropping some natural oil or something like that.

Great first video! Did you ever finish this series? I didn’t find them on your page. I’m thinking of starting my first dulcimer build and I’d love to keep using your videos for reference!

Your bellows pin block is cool haha . I picked up a prewar Scandalli and half the bellows pins are gone. I picked it up and was like “ahhhh that’s why it’s leaking so bad”

And the Italian one at 3:00 wow !

You wouldn’t know the name of that first Irish tune would you ?

Making your own straps is so cool, love it

Thanks again Rich, nice to see you do that again - and thanks for the link to ha-vent with Charlie not being well getting supplies has been a challenge - are there any other suppliers you can share?

Just picked up one of these. Needs work but good to know it can sound so good!

Thanks for sharing this technique The brush methods seems a bit easier than the spatula method Thanks Cheers from California

Hey rich ! Love your work - inspired me to post my first UA-cam of my own restoration today 🎉 pray for me bro

What and where do you get the tape from

Hello Sir - Nice video. However, one observation I have made ie when you are taking out reed boards for cleaning up slides, the accordion body is not correctly placed - the piano key board must never be kept facing the surface downward - this can sometimes cause serious damage /breakage to the piano keys. Piano keys must always face upwards (Like a normal piano). Luckily , you have a carpet cushioning on the table which have provided protection to the keys - but damage cannot be ruled out if any loose thread (?) in the carpet gets entangled in the piano keys. Your lubrication of metallic parts is OK considering that the '' greenish '' chemical on these parts gets easily rusted. Most HOHNER accordions do have this nagging problem and I do not know why they have never bothered about it. Also unlike Italian accordions, Bellow metal 'Corners' of most HOHNER accordions get easily rusted with this "greenish" substance on the corners despite care - even in their high ended professional models like Atlantic and Morino. Incidentally, May I request you to let me name of the " Lubricant" you are using ? Warm Regards.

Sir, in my accordion there is no sound at all in the bass section…what is the reason pls?
