I can replace the leathers no problem, very simple task. I wasn't complaining about the leathers just stating a fact that an extremely loud accordion wants to be played loud in certain jam situations.

With other accordions I have I don't have to worry because the notes will bend when I'm playing too loudly and I know when to ease off the bellows

I'm sorry, that makes no sense at all to me.

If it's already a nice, loud accordion, it means you get to relax and NOT work so hard to play loudly and be heard.

It's a joy to relax and play at less than full force. It gives you somewhere to go for emphasis, dynamics.

Playing loud is sometimes a cover for not playing well.
