Accordion Resources and Links

Resources and Links

Here are some interesting links to other accordion resources, etc.

First off, some amazing players:

This fellow manages to squeeze it all out of the accordion: Nick Ariondo
Ksenija Sidorova is absolutely amazing! Love the smile Bizet Carmen
Alicia Baker playing a Roland V accordion (She is playing a FR-7x, I have a FR-3x which is a bit smaller and a lot cheaper ... but just as much fun.) French Melody
Art Van Damme (sadly no longer with us) was one of the few jazz accordionists. Even had his own quintet. All The Things You Are

Next, some resource pages:

There is lots of stuff at Accordions Worldwide
Ike's page with links and advise. http://accordiondoc.home.mindspring.com/
There is a Reddit forum at /r/Accordion
I had some problems with a sticky key on the right hand side of my accordion. So, I fixed it using this as a guide: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-fix-an-accordion-keyboard/. I will add one tool to the suggestions: bend a heavy paper clip into a right angle hook to use to align the brass keyholder at the top side while you are attempting to reinsert the long holder rod on the bottom.
Some more useful repair suggestions are to be found at Accordion Revival.

More to come. Got one for me? Send me a note: bob@mellowood.ca.
