An accordion is an instrument that, when properly tuned and in good working condition, sounds good enough for a symphony orchestra.  On the other hand, an old or poorly tuned accordion,  can sound like it’s ready for the junkyard.  So, what do you do when your old accordion sounds like it’s on its final note?

Accordion owners practically have two choices when faced with an aging instrument:  sell it, or repair it.  Of course, avid musicians who sell their accordions will want to replace them; so it may be more beneficial to have the old instrument repaired and tuned up.  Otherwise, selling the old instrument will leave you in the position of looking for a newer (and more expensive) replacement.  Read more . . .
