Video tutorials on accordion tuning and repair

[Deleted member 48]

These ones are in Italian, but perhaps hobbyist repairers can pick up some tricks.
A YT series called "SOS Fisarmonica " started recently:


SOS fisarmonica - intonatura delle voci


SOS fisarmonica - Le voci



SOS fisarmonica - intonazione e accordatura


SOS fisarmonica - I registri e quante voci suonano contemporaneamente

Stephen,
Thanks for the clips: quite interesting, although the dialogue was mostly "Greek "(?) to me??.

Good find Stephen, thanks! Not sure what she means by "Canta, de sabo canta!" Sing, ?????, sing! though, place name? dialect, idiom?

The language limitations (mine I mean) make it a bit frustrating. Maybe somebody will add sub-titles. This is always difficult when the subject being dealt with is technical. I suspect it would need a translator with specialised knowledge.

I can understand Italian, but is there some robot automatic translator who can analyse and translate Italian audio into English subtitles?
Surely there must exist some artificial Intelligence assistent who can provide a first rough robot translation?

Check out the Galliano e Ploner menu on their website. Fascinating history, photos and info!
Founded in 1863, Treviso, Italy , very close to Vienna in Austria.

Hi,

I just checked in YouTube, you can also choose the translation option in these Italian YT videos.
First, you go open the video in YouTube, then you go down to the menu and choose "subtitles", you get the Italian subtitles.
Then you go to the setups in the menu at the bottom of the YT window, and you choose "automatic translation" and you go for "English" in the drop down menu.

Looks like she is a bespoke accordion maker from Treviso a city I visited last year. As I have some friends there. Looks like she makes her own instruments like Alpine and Diatonic models. Obviously hand crafted. There are many such small business globally I assume even here in Ireland there are a few Bespoke makers.

Looks like they even organise "pop up" courses for accordion repair and accordion making to children at Galliano e Ploner in Treviso:
