Accordion Craft Academy Questions

[davai_llama]

Hello everyone, in just about a week from now I will be heading back to Castelfidardo to take part in the first two courses of the Accordion Craft Academy. Since my goal is to ultimately tinker around with old accordions and fix them up as a side project, I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations for places to pick up parts and which ones I should preemptively get for any future projects since I will already be there. I will have quite a large suitcase with me so I’m not adverse to stocking up on anything if you have any tips!

Plus, it would be fun to know if any of you might happen to be doing the course at the same time!

A visit to Carini is a standard part of Tier1. It is the place to go for accordion parts and accessories. It's like a supermarket, but with accordion parts.

If you can, leave time at the end after Tier 2 for a return to Carini. When I took the two courses, I found that by the end of Tier 2, there were more parts I needed that I didn't know about when we first went to Carini in Tier 1, so I ended up going twice.
