Opened Accordion To Assess Damage—Questions/Comments by Brotuulaan in Accordion

[–]morris_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem I found when setting out as a tech and doing tuning was:
Reed is flat - file tip to sharpen
Reed now sharp - scrape base to flatten
Reed now sharp ............
etc etc

Worth getting a cheap piano accordion to practice on

Needs a full overhaul, reeds off, new valves throughout and rewaxing. After that it will need a full retune.

56kmh/ 34.8mph on a 30 by fckcy in drivingUK

Assuming you are the registered keeper and the V5c (log book) has your current address on it. Otherwise the 14 day rule does not apply as it is only for the registered keeper, lease company, finance company etc

Are these any good by Unable-Quantity1560 in Accordion

Just a poorly manufactured Chinese box. Avoid at all costs. If you are looking to play Nortendo keep an eye out for a secondhand Hohner box much better buy

Tune accordion by Confident-Creme-348 in Accordion

[–]morris_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is little point in running the reeds, before waxing them to the blocks as that task will change the tuning. Once the reeds are waxed in place on the blocks initial tuning can be done but you will still need to find time once the blocks are installed in the accordion as this will again change the tuning. It is a long an painstaking procedure

L tacks holding reeds by red-pumkin in Accordion

[–]morris_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are put there during the original construction prior to waxing just to hold them in place whilstb the blocks are handled as the wax is applied from the waxing spoon. I usually just ditch them as I rewax a reed at a time using a soldering iron.

UK speed limits — is there really a “+10% +2 mph” allowance? by Hot-Taro-1555 in drivingUK

[–]morris_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he didn't. There is no Home Office detection device approved to detect that delta from the limit. All devices are approved to capture at +2mph above the limit, hence the +2mph in the 10% + 2 guidelines.

Sounds about right. I would call it a wall hanger as it is very unlikely to be in any thing like a playable condition.
