thanks for your videos Tom. i am in the process of restoring an old hohner recording king and your videos are very helpful

[@TomsMusicShop]

Awesome, Luis! I’m glad that I can be helpful. Are there any other videos you wish for?

[@MrLuisagarcia]

@@TomsMusicShop yes, Tom. how about dealing with leaks in the bellows. like replacing gasket and re-felting the feet on the trebel side. thanks

[@TomsMusicShop]

@@MrLuisagarcia Sure, I could do a gasket tutorial. Good idea, Luis. 🙋🏼‍♂

Thank you Tom! Very helpfull. I just bought a vintage Corso. Is it posible to have a vidéo to help me change the cloth on the Bass bottons end.....Thanl you so Much Tom.

[@TomsMusicShop]

Hello Pierre! Thanks for your comment! Changing the cloth on the Bayside is even easier than on the treble grill. You just have to remove the cloth, and cut a rectangle the same size and glue it on. It’s a very similar process to the video I already made, but you don’t have to be as accurate with cutting out the cloth.

[@pierrebourbonnais1495]

@@TomsMusicShop Ok thank you. I was just wondering, since i beleive the cloth is probably glued directly to wood,( i did not dessamble the instrument so far...) what glue should i use, because the spray glue is not the best on wood....Could kinf of Crazy glu works foe that...Thank you Tom. ( Excuse my English..I'm french Canadian...) Buy the way...I bought an Erica....my mistake...

[@TomsMusicShop]

Hello Pierre! You should do some kind of spray adhesive. That works the best. I will see about sending you a link to what I use. Tesa spray glue: amzn.to/3yKotP2

Brother Thank you , what kind of cloth do you recommend ?restoring a gabanelli pocket rocket

[@TomsMusicShop]

I ordered mine directly from Hohner.

Hello Tom. Few years ago an accordion repair man, used some vaseline petroleum jelly, to stop my Corso buttons from the Clicking noise. I have the same issue with my Erica. But i can't remember where to apply the lubricant....Would you help me solve this bad buttons noises...Best regards.

[@TomsMusicShop]

Hello Pierre. Can you maybe post a video about the noises? I’m not familiar with what you mean. Thanks, Tom

[@pierrebourbonnais1495]

Hello Tom. It's seems to be a regular problem on some Hohner button accordions, ( noisy Clacking noise everytime you hit a note or bass note...).but, as an old man, i don't have no I-Phone to take any videos. You will find- out in some Forums about this ...And i suddendly remembered ..........Just apply this petrolium jelly around the buttons , ( on the boards of the buttons.)..once in a while ! This Hint works! Regards. Pierre

Hello, wich grill cloth do you use? I have to change the ones in the bottom, close to the feet of my accordion. Greetings from Canada.

[@TomsMusicShop]

Hey Tiago, I use cloth that I buy from Hohner. Which kind of accordion do you need to mend?

[@tiagoorengo]

Hey@@TomsMusicShop it's a Serenelli piano accordion probably from the 50"s. Two sound exits in the bottom mesuring 4cm x 5cm.

[@TomsMusicShop]

OK, well that's not much material. I could sell you some, but shipping might be expensive to Canada. Should I look into that for you?

[@tiagoorengo]

@@TomsMusicShop thank you my friend I will search in the accordion repair-man of my town if I don't find. I let you know. Thank you for your help.

How to change the celluloid?

[@TomsMusicShop]

That I don't know. I wish I did.

hiw about some 120mesh stainless steel mesh

[@TomsMusicShop]

That would probably work too, but I don’t know about the glue.
