That's a spiffy holiday greeting card as well.
New accordion day!

Thank you! We did a proper band photo shoot in the summer, but shortly afterwards one of the band members quit, leaving the photos unusable. This is much safer!

A productive but somewhat tense morning... I did some work on my accordions mic system, without breaking it. The existing system used a stereo jack socket, with the 'ring' connector used to switch the battery on, but that wasn't compatible with the wireless system I wanted to use. Also, as @Ventura pointed out, the circuit keeps the bass and treble mics separate, and with a studio session coming up in a couple of weeks, I wanted to bring out the bass and treble sides separately for recording.
I changed the treble volume potentiometer for one with an on/off switch built in. I also changed the volume knobs as the existing ones weren't to my taste, and were too small to hide the nut underneath. I bought a pair of 'vintage' electric guitar knobs instead. A bit of soldering later, everything is working - I can hook the accordion up to the PA in either stereo or mono depending on the cable I use, and I can use it mono with wireless.

Well done, nothing short of brilliant, as you thought out all your options and made them available to you!I can hook the accordion up to the PA in either stereo or mono depending on the cable I use, and I can use it mono with wireless.

Good question! There was a small pile of electric components growing on the table beside it, so maybe...
