accordion makeover

Did some work on the Elton Doucet accordion with Hohner reeds (and Salpa #1 bass side, I added)

Added black buttons, black bellows clasps and black base hand strap. Painted the flapper rods gold, and the pivots flapper tips black...

I wish I had put on black bellows, but those gold ones were collecting dust. Kinda wish the color of red was a little darker too, but it looks pretty decent with this set up.

Those black buttons are the nicest feeling buttons I've ever played. I kinda made the button holes a little large, but this was my first time switching buttons.
