That spoon is not good you will ended with wax dripping all over place! And you will not get even flow of wax.

So, how do you figure out the order of your reeds? I opened one up because it was rattling, and there was about 10 reeds bouncing around

Hello, I learned a lot from your video! I now know that I have to replace two reeds for the reason that my father (who I inherited my "steirische Harmonika" from) had replaced 2 "same tone" reeds with 2 2-tone (or bi tone reeds). Unfortunately I can't continue my music school lessons unless I put the original same tone reeds back in. My instrument looks a lot bigger and complicated though, so I think I would like to have this done professionally. In what state are you guys located? Or do you know anyone in the Savannah GA area who can do this for me?

Thanks 😊

Do you hear a difference in volume between this one and the regular corona III R?

new chinese hohner corona iii’s are made out of crap wood i think like the panthers

By the way,do you know what kind of glue to use for the metal corners? Thanks

Hello to all, i have a Hohner Claviola to sell in germany, if someone is interested

Interesting instrument, but sounds nowadays like an cheap chinese kids keyboard.

instead of a scraper and an accordion file i used a screwdriver and a nail file, and it worked just fine!

Thank you so much Tom. I have a Hohner engraved wood 21 button C-F accordion with all bad reed valves. What size of reed valve do I need to order as I see a variety, i.e. 40mm x 6.5 or 5.5 or 6.0.... Thank you and love your videos...

do corsos come a bit wetter than corona iii’s?

Loved learning how to do this. So glad i discovered you - you are wonderful! Thank you!I have a couple of German-made Honer Accordions. love their rich sound. As an older lady I also love that they are lighter than the Italian ones. 🇦🇺

Like the demo of your wax spoon - I think I should be able to make one of those - or something like for next time I need to wax in a reed or two

Hi.What is the wax spoon made of?

I will make 3D printable PETG bellow.

Que programas usas para afinar

I’m 27 and I just listened to Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blues for the first time. The song Dreamer had a really interesting sound that ultimately was made using this instrument. It has such a unique sound.

Hi Tom, I would love to do more tuning and repair as well.

Hey Tom just saw your video I would love to start fixing my own accordion since I stand to much I’m in. USA California

Any updates Tom?

can you show the cents for a swing tune? little vibration

I might be alittle late but I am interested in any accordions repair me and my uncle are repairing one he just bought

I noticed something when trying this out, I used the same app you are using here, and when I downloaded it, it defaulted to showing A G F E… instead of A B C D like the screen in the video, so I scratched up one reed pretty badly because I thought I was doing the right scraping but I was doing the exact opposite and making it worse since the tuning screen was backwards, Also, I have 2 accordions, one is near perfectly in tune, I checked the reed block of the in-tune one on my test bellows and the tuning was consistently higher on each note outside of the accordion, this should be noted when tuning like this, otherwise you’ll put the accordion back together and it will be slightly out of tune.

Bravo e grazie

what's the difference between Corona III, Corona IIIR and Corona IIIRS?

Thank you!!

Excellent.

you have different blades for the deburr tool, there is a blade that cuts off very little even if you press hard - blade geometry is different.

Hey Tom, I'm sad to see you put an end to repairing accordions. I've used your videos to help me repair my own accordions. I lack a lot of tools but accordion repairs is something that interests me. Let me know how I can contact you. I'm from the US but I'll cover all shipping costs like you mentioned.

Thank you so much!! May I ask How to get a test bellow?

Hey thanks for this detailed video! it was very helpful for me! I just have a question. I have an issue with some tongues. When i give more air to play louder the tunig drops, when it give less air it rises. how can i fix this? greetings!

Tom, so sorry you are going, but I just wanted to say thank you. I learned practically all I know about accordion repair from your videos and they have served me well. I have restored one box and was able to tune another from a dry to wet musette tuning. Very grateful for the time you took to make these tutorials!

Oh no!! Hey Tom - just wanted to say I'm sorry to see you go. I started watching your videos a little over a year ago and I have to say they gave me the confidence to try out something crazy like attempting to repair my own button accordions late last year. Please do keep this channel open. Just a possible thought for the future (unless I've missed it): perhaps live/interactive Q&A repair sessions? I'd certainly be willing to pay for something like this myself, if that helps any. Best wishes to you and thank you thank you thank you so much for all your guidance in your very helpful videos.

My button is sticking outwards.how do I fix that?

I am interested as well...thank you

Hey hope everything well , Big fan from California U.S., always enjoy watching your videos, I play accordion n I would like to start repairing my own accordion. Would put in for good use n possibly near future start a repair shop.

I am in the middle of restoring two accordions, the one is a old Piatanisi Chicago accordion. I want to start an accordion repair business in North Dakota as there are a ton of players but no repair anywhere close to us. This would be a huge help to me.

Tom it's been a while i moved to a new house and never got to setting up my accordion stuff :( really enjoyed all your content !! It helped me a bunch . Glad your other channel is doing awesome!!

Hello Tom, I took up playing the button accordion during covid, I have attended 5 different workshops on repairing button accordions and found it so difficult to follow the instructions on how to repair accordions . Recently I have seen some of your tutorials and made everything so simple to follow. I am belong to a "Mens Shed" in Dublin Ireland where there are about 50 members all retired men. The come from all backgrounds as in electricians - Plummer's -Painters - Clerical Workers - Train & Bus Drivers -Carpenters ect. we come together twice a week have tea and coffee and of course talk and try to help one another with our different skills, I will be 78 on the 20th. of March and watching your tutorials has given me the confidence to tutor people in repairing button accordion's. In Ireland the button accordion is a very popular with the young Irish people and their are very few people that can repair accordions. So Tom I would love to have the opportunity to use your tools . Thanking you in anticipation, Kind regards Patrick Foley

You simplify every stage in repairing the accordion. Thank you so much.👍👍

Hi! I’m interested aswell! I’m from Germany and currently restoring an old Hess accordion but I lack a lot of tools. I already managed to fixing some leaks in the bellows and now I’m about to put on new wax for the reeds (with the help of your video). The equipment and tools really would help me out making a good restoration of this old beauty.

I am interested

I am interested my friend , please let me know how we can go about doing this , Once again l hope you're doing well , l'm sorry to see you go , God bless you my friend. Phillip Mendez Abilene Texas USA

I've bought a couple of boxes off Tom, great service as described beautiful packing all the way to Australia

Great work!

Hello good evening, how are you! How much does this beautiful instrument cost today? How much would it cost to send it to Brazil?

Great sound !
