vinmai Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Hi, I recently bought a rebranded Stagi off ebay for dirt cheap, since I am very new to making music and I expected some minor issues. There were indeed some, like a splinter stuck in a reed. However, I just noticed another one - one note being very hard to play, as in requiring the bellows moved much more than other notes. In the picture, the note is the one next to the open hole. Seems like air going the wrong way around. What is the preferred way to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mChavez Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Easiest is just to drop some reed wax over it (that's pretty much how most accordions are held together). If you don't have reed wax, good wood filler might do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassconcertina.net Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 You could take the reed out and clamp and glue the crack back together, then put the reed back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Morrison Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Easy repair with some reed wax to fill up the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Are you sure there is air leaking through this gap? If there is then the note would be very difficult or even impossible to play. An easy way to test is to cover the hole completely with stick tape and see if that makes a significant difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
