Hello all
Last night while sitting in my kitchen playing, my five button lost all action / spring. Help! what do I do to get it back? Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to find someone. I live in Mich, so I fear I may not easily find someone who can work on a botton box.
Thank you thank you thank you for any help you can give.
(I have only been playing for a few months, but find myself a bit addicted to it - I'd hate to have to send it off for a few weeks.)

Karl, that depends on what brand and/or make of accoridon you have.

If it was a Hohner HA114, it's not impossible to replace the spring, just a pain in the arse. I've finally sat down and figured out how to replace them with safety pins (gotta have the right size coil, though)

If it was a Louisiana handmade, it's extremely easy to replace a spring, just gotta ask around the accordion builder community for help finding one.

If it was an Arriette or Weltmeister one row, you're pretty much SOL. I've had that happen in the past. Just gotta move on to a better accordion.
