What is the proper storage of an accordion?
Proper storage of your accordion will prevent you from needless repair costs and so it should be in your best interest to look after it. Never store your accordion in a damp room since this will cause buttons or keys in your accordion to stick. It may also cause your accordion reeds to rust and if this happens, they will have to be removed from the reed plates and filed down to remove the rust. Once filed, they will then have to be retuned which is a specialised job for an accordion tuner. Also, never store your accordion in a warm environment since it causes the bees wax, which holds the reed plates in place, inside your accordion to melt. The best place to store your accordion is in a dry place at room temperature, with room temperature being around 22 degrees celsius.
