- Today, we fix my sticky G# on the Stradella bass of my Dallapé!
Please, please, please always have a professional fix your instrument - while this worked for me, these are complex instruments and a lot could have gone wrong, That said....here's how it went!

Thank you everyone for your continued support, and keep making music!
I Love you Guys' infectious Enthusiasm ! ❤ 😊
Thanks for your know how.
You are most welcome! Thank you for subscribing!
The mechanism stems from the pipe organ which was invented 2250 years ago (Alexandria, Egypt). Those wires are called stickers, trackers and roller board lateral displacer wires. Just bought and instrument with the same problem.
Nice work! I love it.
Thank you!
Lotsa fun!
Thanks, @wileyparker2429!
Thanks.
You bet!
I enjoyed you honestly but you gotto take some lesson my friend on how chords are built :)
Thank you for the comment, and totally fair! I am but an amateur, learning as I go and having fun. Definitely lots to learn. 😊
I want to buy this accordion!
It's been a wonderful instrument!
Can’t even get the strap off ???
There may be tiny screws if it not adjustable.
Appreciate your enthusiasm and taking time to make the video, not ultra helpful though, sorry. Your helper was right to comment about a leverage point. The professionals have special little tools and pliers etc for straightening bent rods. I've discovered accordions very late in life and am learning to play and repair myself. Fascinating and soul destroying ! lol
Hah, very true! This was a pretty early video for me, back when making *something* was better than nothing. Definitely learned a lot (and cringed a lot) watching it again! 😂
that was really helpful, inspired me to open my accordion up and wiggle with things. Probably saved me a few hundred pounds :). That's a beautiful dallape by the way
I'm so glad this was helpful, Rowan! Sometimes a carefully-taken risk is worth it. :)
I fixed all the bass buttons but for the one I have it feels like one of the baffles is not closing all the way and is causing a single note. Any advice on how one could fix that?
Same problem here...
Good question! Sadly I have no idea - I was truly learning on the fly with this video 😅
Tweezers have been helpful for me. Still haven't fixed mine 😅😭😭😭
Good call on the tweezers! What happened to yours?
