Ha-ha! 5 cents off isn't wet tuned.
That's what we call "Out of tune!"

Ok, damp tuned then

When you stop and think about it, any degree of wet tuning is technically "out of tune"

And out of tune it is, and man oh man does it sound sweet!

"Damp". That's genius!

hi Jim. How-za goingz?

I found while tuning & fixing accordions: Quite often cleaning reeds from smoky-pub debris, rust, grease, you name it, and checking wax for airleaks and leathers for contact problems, stickyness etc. quite often brings an instrument back to most of it's original pitch .....

Nout

nout,

Yeah, I've noticed that with reeds as well. The reeds are relatively new and haven't seen any real bad weather or dirty conditions... I have, however played the hell out of it since I've gotten it back in E.

It used to be in C, but I already have another C box.

E is the most lovely key for a Cajun accordion, I do declare! Too bad they don't have fiddles that tune to E. Not much of a big deal to me anyway, because there are not really any Cajun fiddlers in the area. The ones I do jam with I see once every few months.

Yeah, I understand fiddles don't like those B flats and A flats.
