  Bookings are now open for a 2 day Accordion Repair Course run by PLG Marketing in Teddington on October 10th and 11th, 2019.The course is an ideal opportunity to learn more about your accordion and how it all works. In addition you are free to bring along an instrument needing some attention for assessment and possibly fixing it depending on what the problem is. The course is for 10-12 persons and includes some practical work. The tutor is Paul Flannery who is a piano tuner who became involved with melodeon and then accordion tuning and repairs some years ago now. Over the two days, sessions will cover the working parts of the accordion and how the treble and bass switches work and common problems. Also reed block configurations, voices, how to undertake minor repairs, including valve replacement, sticky keys and switches, changing bellows gasket and general fault finding. Some practical work will be possible and materials are provided. Questions can be fielded throughout the course. There will also be an optional dinner on the Thursday evening at a local Italian restaurant who allow us to play accordions after dinner (Instruments can be supplied). Numbers are limited so if interested it’s advisable to book a place as soon as possible. For details email: plg@plgmarketing.com |
