Accordions are intricate, mechanical machines with hundreds moving parts on average. When those parts either sit for years unused or undergo an abundance of use, they will need to be serviced and maintained over the course of their life. We offer every maintenance service your accordion may need; including periodic maintenance cleaning, mechanical cleaning & optimization, reed maintenance and adjustments, bellows gaskets/corner/gussets/lining inspection and service, register mechanism cleaning & repair, and most every other service one may require. Proper maintenance is key to getting optimum performance and longevity out of your accordion.

An accordion's bass mechanism is the most intricate aspect, with hundreds of individual components and many dozens of contact points. These contact points are often lubricated and after many years, the lubrications can gum up or hardened and begin to cause excess friction and restriction of movement. Depending on the construction quality, some mechanisms will need more service over the years than others and if metal parts are not chromed or built properly, service may be more frequent. 

A common concern for many accordionists today has to do with an accordions weight; which is important. What is just as important is an accordion's compression and balance. Compression translates to efficiency, or how much 'pushing and pulling' an accordion requires to produce sound. Poor compression can result in an inefficient accordion, therefore the player exerts far more energy to produce sufficient sound. The better the compression, the more efficient and responsive an accordion is.  Compression can be improved by servicing or replacing bellow gaskets, treble or bass valves & settings, various holes or cracks in the body, loose hardware, bellows leaks in corners, lining, gussets, pins etc. and more.
