‘Piano Accordion Owner’s Manual and Buyer’s Guide’ by George Bachich – USAby Rob Howard |
 ‘Piano Accordion Owner’s Manual and Buyer’s Guide’, by George Bachich, explains how accordions work, what goes wrong, problems to watch out for when buying an accordion, how to quickly identify reed configurations, tone chambers and mute chambers, how to diagnose and locate air leaks, how to safely open and inspect an accordion, and how to recognize when reed valves need to be changed. It explains how to identify and evaluate musette tuning, reed quality, handmade reeds, and how to decide which accordion is right for the reader. This 164-page soft cover book is illustrated with over 40 color photographs and contains useful new information for everyone, beginner to experienced accordionist. George Bachich has been playing accordion for ten years, and repairing them for eight years. Each year at the Cotati Accordion Festival he performs "accordion autopsies", dissecting an old accordion and explaining how accordions work and what goes wrong with them. The ‘Piano Accordion Owner’s Manual and Buyer’s Guide’ is a new book that fills a very useful gap in the available accordion literature. The price is $25 plus $5 shipping and handling in the U.S. and $12 for orders outside of the U.S. For further information email: gbachich@accordionrevival.com |
