Hallo!

I have today got another accordion. Made by Piakordia. Chemnitz. D.R.G.M marked with PRYM snaps. Overall a nice accordion from the 1930's.

Pretty nice accordion!
Where did you get all the "pre war" accordions from, I only get "post war" here....
And whats about the sound? My teacher says that they are "dead" after 30 years.....?

Hello,

It's all abit hit and miss with second hand accordions. I got these from ebay.de. Sound wise, they are fair, not perfect but OK to play at events and for what we need.

See the video, thats how they sound, prewar accordions sound very much differnt from modern ones.

An accordion used often should be retuned every 5-10years, these are 70+ years old and without any work.

I may well do some more videos.

Thanks!
Nathan

Now that would be lovely Nathan, I would love
to see you playing one of the "civilian" songs.

Kind regards,
Beate
