Two things you mustn't do: - Never attempt to expand or compress the bellows of an accordion without a key, button or the valve release button pressed. Doing so can damage the reeds and make it sound out of tune. - Never expose an accordion to extreme heat or cold. The reeds of the accordion contain wax (to hold them in place), which can obviously melt if it gets too hot, but can also crack if it gets too cold. Don't leave it in a car for a prolonged period.

Yup, accordions are the best. I added some hall effect sensors to the bass section of one of mine, glued some magnets to the ends of the base buttons and programmed them up to an Arduino to create MIDI. I can then connect it to most cheap auto-accompaniment keyboards for hours of fun! I just found your channel and am so impressed!

Great video. Exactly what I was hoping to see & understand. What I don’t understand Is, what Genius mind could’ve imagined this insanely complex instrument! I mean who really invented the accordions 🪗? To my mind this is the most complex instrument invented with the exception if perhaps 🤔 the pipe organ. Must be very expensive to tune an accordion. Far more expensive than tuning my piano. And it shouldn’t need tuning often...I don’t imagine, unless it’s played in a driving rain 🌧 where the reeds could get wet. That’s unlike woodwind instruments played with the very wet mouth. One won’t really worry about changing the reeds too often. Seems, wear & tear are the accordion’s major enemy. Incredible video. Blows my mind🤯.

Looks like some of the buttons correspond to -- i.e., push down first, before triggering the rotation of the cylinders -- vertical bars that themselves open valves. With these buttons, it seems there should be an ever-so-slight delay between the sounding of the "directly linked" note and the notes that follow indirectly from the twofold action of the cylinder spikes and gold bars. (Assuming you start pumping air through the valves immediately as or just before hitting the buttons.) Have you tried playing back music from the chord buttons in slow-mo to see if the lag becomes perceptible?

If you do want to take on the daunting task of tuning free reeds, I suggest practicing on a basic harmonica. You won't break the bank or cry when it inevitably becomes unplayable, and you have 20 reeds to screw up before you have to get another to experiment with. Hopefully by then you'll know what to do and what not to do on larger and more valuable instruments. Combine this with draw bends (as a means of throwing reeds out of tune maybe) for maximal annoyment of the neighbors.
