The instrument consists of many parts. For example, a full-size professional accordion has as many reeds as a grand piano has strings. These reeds are often held together by a combination of beeswax and pine rosin. These materials decay over time and must be replaced in accordions that are more than 40 years old to make them playable. If an accordion plays out-of-tune, the problem usually can be traced back to the reeds. The solution varies with the specific type and model of accordion. Sometimes, only a few individual reeds need to be fixed, but more often the best solution is to do a complete reed overhaul.
