I opened the accordion and found the reeds like this, you can see some leather are lift up. When I pull (open) the bellow, I can hear the very beautiful tremolo sound (wet sound and very beautiful bright). But when I push (close) the bellow, I can listen some keys sound become dry and not bright (I don't know if it you can understand it...), so...is that caused by the lifted leather? And is that worth to repair those leather? The logic behind is, I don't want to throw it to the garbage as I did hear the nice sound, so I guess the reed itself is still good, but just need some repair, so if everything get fixed or tuned, it should be a good accordion.
Another question, I never see the black "glue" on the reeds before, is that something strange they use in 1950-1970?
