Yes, thats a good point! I do tape the whole row when I know that I have to tune the whole row, e.g. when I put new reeds. For spot tuning (like in this, incomplete, example), I need to find which reed of the two (or more) voices is out tune. I think muting single reeds to find the one out of tune works quite well and saves time. The less reeds you need to tune, the more effective it is of course. Once you hit a certain threshold, it makes more sense to just tape of the whole row from start and tune all of them, row-by-row. That assessment I make by ear before I start tuning. Cheers, Ole
Question for you, hoping you can answer. I am left handed but don't want to pay extra for left handed accordion. If i just flip reed boxes upside down, would that give me same result as a left handed accordion? (3 row button accordion)
@@OleCarstensen thanks for your quick response! Does your blog have a resource for “rebuilding reed box”, or know of any, since it appears i cant just flip?
