Fabulous 1930's Pancotti accordion restoration-part 2. Removing reeds, preparing reeds and reeblock 

Another clear video Rich, thanks. At the end there it looked like some of the reeds still had huge gaps. Was that just down to lighting? Also, are of the reeds the same, or did you number them when they came out so you know which position they go back in on the next video? 😂

Glad to see you are still documenting your work, it will be invaluable when I make my own attempts ❤

Currently thinking about getting a 1910s accordion to learn repair/accordion on. These videos really show the amount of work needed and how to get it done. I wonder if I can do it myself...

I bought an ultrasonic cleaner but was not very happy with it - maybe I should’ve left them in longer

Hi! Are you mixing soap with the water in the ultrasonic cleaner for better cleaning, or is it to make it an alkaline solution to prevent rust ? Have you had any issue getting reeds in water that way, or is it really safe with soap and proper drying?
