  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.

  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!

  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

• 
  @oldbrokensqueezeboxАй бұрын

  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?

• 
  @richedwards9646Ай бұрын

  Hello Good question ! What I do is work out which set of reeds is tuned to the pitch of the accordion. Eg A440( this can be tricky as some accordions are tuned to various standards eg AA42 , 438 etc - if I'm not sure I use the bass reeds as a reference as they will all be tuned to the pitch of the accordion I will then tune these reeds to their pitch eg AA440 Then I will play these reeds and the tremolo set of reeds together and measure the difference in pitch between 2 reeds using my Dirks tuner app. Sometimes the tremolo set of reeds is tuned BELOW the tuning of the reeds tuned to pitch which means if you flatten a tremolo reed you will get more tremolo !!- most of the time the tremolo reeds are tuned slightly above the reeds tuned to pitch . I hope this helps Good luck! 😊

  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?

  @38scsharmaАй бұрын

  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 - Some how I differ with you - if I am right, this wah wah sound indicated a " Wet " tuning which is difficult and not easily found . I would have been happier to have kept such an accordion "as is " condition. Nonetheless - your 'easy fix' solution is amazing and amusing as well - plz accept my compliments for that !

  Great job giving an example of the instrument prior to any work. It gives us a great starting point as viewers. It's in almost the same condition as mine was when I started working on it. I bet that Pancotti is going to be a real gem when you've finished with it. The other Pancotti that Mike gave to you is truly beautiful. The voice is very deep and full. As always, I look forward to watching this series of videos and listening to the final product of your labor. You're a very talented fellow, Rich!

  Yes I have also worked on my Hohner Regina 4 register buttons - I am happy to note i cleaned the sliders just as you did - still having an issue one of the registers when you press the button sometimes does not change the register - i guess that something is worn or not quite in the right place - will investigate soon. Interesting that my accordion(1941) has very similar type of register change although much less complex with two palm buttons and 4 choices available
