I kind of enjoy working on mine, just wish it would stay fixed. There's a key or two where the linkage is loose and every once in a while falls apart, disconnecting the middle register valve for that key.

Why are you so concerned with eagles, anyway? Besides, the thread pertains to accordian, not eagles.

How can one NOT be aware of accordions!? Even Helen Keller and Tommy dislike them. Even violists dislike them. Even conductors (gasp!) won't play them!

Once I was attending an outdoor concert by an excellent 17 piece big band.
During a Sammy Nestico/Count Basie chart the leader whipped out a 'cordeen
and started soloing!
OMG! WTF!!

Artie Shaw was quoted in an interview(when speaking of Lawrence Welk), "Hell, an accordion isn't even a musical instrument" Ref: Biography on Artie Shaw shone on public TV in NC.
