The results are included in the Excel sheet. Furthermore I was able to reproduce a very nice tuning a professional did in my Hohner Tango II, as well the standard tuning Hohner has used for the 2-reed musette sound. Doing this I was perfectly able to reproduce Lester Baileys tuning chard for the 3 tunings it contains. I introduduced the 3 variables mentioned in the worksheet. All this information, together with the formula to calculate the next note from an original note, was compiled into Excel. Although most are in need of tuning, the tuning patterns were clearly visible. I have about 7 now, one bough second hand. Since I started to get into accordions 2 years ago I was given several accordions by friends. This enabled me to see in wave form two sounding reeds in an accordion and made notes of the values I saw. To check myself I, I downloaded the Instrument-tuner. The other rows on the table use different amounts, though this doesnt seem to be an arithmetic relationship that I can discern. The Hohner row lowers the amount of cents by 6 each octave. Analysing the three rows I realised that there are two factors in play: the amount of tremelo you want, indicated for the A4 reed (which can be anything between 435 Hz and 445 Hz) and the rate in which one wants the tremelo to be in the higher and lower reeds. On this there are three rows with numbers that give the amount of cents you have to tune the offset reeds higher to reach a certain amount of musette. (In my opinion, maybe the best series on YouTube at this moment on free reed instrument repair?) In the installment on tuning the treble reeds he links to the table he uses for tuning the offset reeds. He has a great series on hot rodding a Hohner Melodeon. Then I came across the the videos bij Lester Bailey.

So for the last weeks I have been searching the web (including this fine forum!) for information, especially on the musette tuning for the offset reeds. The bass side is working now, so time for the treble side. The construction was another puzzle, but has been solved, too.) Sounding the thing made it clear that all the reeds were sounding, but way out of tune, no music could be played. Some time ago I bought a cheap Hohner Club IIB (Yes a melodeon, but not too big. After doing some small scale revalving and rewaxing I wanted to make the next step: tuning an accordion.
