details the elements of the accordion that it encounters, describes
how each part interacts and offers an initial tool for diagnosing problems
which in some cases can be remedied by using the methods described.The book is therefore pertinent at all levels of expertise: from musicians who want to understand how their instrument works through to teachers and apprentice repairers who can use the book as a unique tool of reference. The author is both an accomplished accordionist and repairer/tuner and through this work aims to share his love of the instrument and his twenty years' experience in tuning and repair.
