Generally, there shouldn't be any need to tune an Accordion. They do not go out of tune unless they have been damaged, for example, by cigarette smoke. Anyway, if you really do need to tune an accordion, you would have to get it done by someone who knows what they are doing. It would be a tedious task because each reed (represented by each separate key/button) has to be tuned separately. The way you tune it is by changing the length of the reed. A longer reed has a lower pitch and a shorter reed has a higher pitch. So if you wanted to tune an accordion up, you would have to shave down the reeds a little bit.
