guerrini "Folk" accordion
Len Killick
It sounds like it has been heavily used or badly kept because I wouldn't
expect a Guerrini of this age to be badly out of tune and to have broken
reeds. With the lack of "brightness" comment I would suspect that it's
dirty inside - possibly played a lot in smokey rooms?
It's all fixable but needs to be seen to be evaluated properly.

suspect rust.
Len Killick
Normally yes rust would be a possibility, but on italian reeds of that age
it's very unusual - that's why I thought about dirt. I mean real greasy,
dust, tar laden dirt) which also affects tuning significantly.

and thanks for your quick answers !
In the meantime, I built out the bass-reeds - no rost at all
( genau wie von Dir erwartet, Len )
When I try the reeds by blowing in
(yes, I know, I must not do that because of rost, but at the weekend I
didn´t know....)
some reeds will not make any noise, or sometimes the tone comes very
thin, or only at a certain pressure
Well, this guerrini seems to be a nice instrument, and I will try to
get repaired it.
Thanks for your answers

Ich habe niemals mein accordion ausainander gemacht um es zu reinigen. Welches waschmittel benutzt man dazu? Muesste auch einmal reinschauen um zu sehen ob Ich einmal reinemachen solte.
