Hello, new to this forum. My name is Daniel and I’m looking for some of this material in the photo, to do a small repair on my accordion. Can’t seam to find this anywhere. I contacted Gabbanelli but they currently don’t have the same one to match mine.

What's wrong with the original mesh?
🤔
I once had some dents in a vintage Scandalli expanded metal mesh grille.
l was able to knock them out with a soft faced hammer.
Virtually invisible result!🙂
Also, try searching for "perforated metal sheeting ". 🙂
Is it like this one (model 34)?🤔

Check hobby supply shops. You can get the silver, and then spray a transparent yellow on it. The stock screen was probably yellow anodized and will probably be hard to find.
I was rebuilding the grill for a Giuleitti and could not find the expanded metal I needed, the stuff at art supply houses was close, but was a very soft aluminum and dented way to easy, I found some stuff on ebay that was being sold as custom truck grill mesh, slightly different hole size but it looked great. This might work, it is brass https://www.hobbylinc.com/scale-sce...ass-screen-model-railroad-scratch-supply-3501
