Bass note vibration

[bamboozlem]

Hi Everyone,

I posted earlier about corrosion on the metal corners of the bellows on the used Hohner Arietta IM I purchased.
Using a non abrasive scouring pad and Brasso metal polish, I did what I could in terms of cleaning it.

After I cleaned it, however, I did notice there is quite a lot of vibration playing some of the bass notes and I am 99% sure it didn't have that going on before. It's quite distracting.
Wondering if this does indeed sound like a problem?


Thanks for any advice!

Oxidization on metal around bellows?

Hi Everyone! New here, and I am very new to the world of accordions. I joined an accordion group in my town a couple months ago, and after borrowing several piano accordions, I did go ahead and purchase my own last week - a used Hohner Arietta IM. As I understand, it has had two previous...

bamboozlem: The 'vibrating' bass notes are unlikely to have anything to do with bellows corners. Your accordion is old and your recent playing it has probably allowed the first fresh air into the the interior in a long time. The valves, among other things, will react to this and likely not function properly. 'Vibrating' bass notes are common in instruments needing attention. At this distance I don't know what your accordion needs. However it will be your decision alone if you want to spend on it.

Sorry, I wasn't sure if this would be considered a separate issue to the original post, and needed a post if it's own.
