Hi all, this is in response to Dean Smith's question about accordion
repairs.  I myself have reworked the reed pallets on four accordions
(to date, anyway), and they were all over 40 years old.

For new reeds, rebuilt bellows and so on, I have used

They also do complete repairs, and they have nearly any size and pitch
of harmonica you might want.  I realize this is a ways from Atlanta,
Georgia, but it's closer than California.
