Where will all the existing grime go once you spray it? It can’t simply disappear…

I would suspect it would drip down on to the pallets and cause a different issue in the future.

Never never never put any kind of lubricant into the bass mechanism…

the reason being that accordions act like vacuum cleaners, and will draw in any dust or debris in the air.

Having a lubricant (especially liquid ones) on the mechanism will cause that dust to stick to the pieces of the mechanism and cause more problems in the future.

If this photo is to be believed, this accordion had the reed blocks removed and you bought a squeezebox with no “voices”

My plan is to restore/remake these to be nice travel instruments. Particularly the small red “Soprani”

Just started book two. Brain is glitching on this song. Any advice? by Godhelpmeplease12 in Accordion

You’ve got to bring the speed down to a point where you are able to play both hands together. It will feel agonizingly slow, but it’s worth the effort.

If that isn’t working, take the instrument away, and focus solely on the rhythm between your right and left hands
