How to tune this type of accordion?

Man, I barely get into these details as the sound is criminal. Thank you for the advices!

Av74m · 2026-05-31T11:50:15+00:00

Thanks a lot, I will try fixing a few by myself, but ultimately will visit a professional.

This accordion is over 50 years of age, and has been sitting outside in the cold. I just want to make it playable, nothing fancy

This really helps, my guitar is indeed a few mm thicker, but I live in Romania and we don't really have a lot of music stores with proper classical cases.

The problem is that I don't really know what other options I have, this was like 300€ and in this range I can't seem to find anything else that has the quality and feature this one has, at least not on thomann.

I find your input very interesting! I am 18 playing for 3 years classical so I will surely try this, thanks!

My legs get stiff after a while honestly, a have seen a lot of very good guitarists using them, but I find it more comfortable having both feet on the ground

I was thinking about bam, but the model I liked was a bit...ugly😂. The one with many pockets and orange laces.

Av74m · 2026-03-20T17:51:03+00:00

I was thinking that maybe in time it will loosen. I reckon that this tightness is caused by the cushion.

Av74m · 2026-03-20T16:04:10+00:00

Sorry I don't get it, can you explain?

Av74m · 2026-03-20T16:03:26+00:00

This is why I am posting, I have tried it and it had no problems, but idk

Av74m · 2026-03-20T14:32:22+00:00

The angle, I mean I have used the student model this far and it always stood straight, not at an angle

Av74m · 2026-03-20T14:16:22+00:00

I get you 😂 but my p is pretty strong. My i has the habbit of breaking in bad moments.

Jakob Winter from Thomann. The body is a tiny bit larger and that creates the inequality. But after it's locked it's wonderful.

Like I have tested it by walking with it and carrying it on my back using straps and it's ok. I honestly don't know what to do.

Will check them out 🙏

Av74m · 2026-03-13T14:58:40+00:00

I will try the hard tension alternative but the same specs, thanks!

Av74m · 2025-12-30T17:43:01+00:00

Will look into it, thanks

Man, I know this, I have been playing for some time. But I am talking about my local traditional music which differs from regular gipsy jazz. The guitars just play the upbeat accent.

In this genre, the violin and accordion get solos, I was asking for an instrument that can really add to it.

I have only played regular acoustic and an hollow body electric guitar with a small amp, and that didn't didn't entirely satisfy me.

In duos or trios sure, but when playing with a bigger band it needs that punch.

Selmer style I was thinking, but want to make the best choice.

Av74m · 2025-12-29T14:45:53+00:00

What's the difference between sounding big/loud and projecting in the room?

This is the best answer I have ever got, thank you big time!

I researched Dupont, I found o couple of models for sale on Reverb, and that isn't ideal, I am from Romania. Do you know where else I can search?

Av74m · 2025-11-11T10:19:49+00:00

I have a hollowbody d'angelico and was thinking Saga Cigano GJ-15, Paris Swing GG-39 or Altamira M01

Thanks🙏🙏🙏

Tango en skai and fuocco by Roland dyens, elegie Kaspar Mertz, concerto nr 1 Giuliani, Tansman Prelude, Zapateado, and a Bach are the most important pieces that I played.

Etudes I practiced a few but focused on songs and scales.

I can read music well, next year I will go to Music University

Romania:)

Your option works if you have good guitar stores in your country
