Repair tools

[Mito44]

Dear all,

I gained some experience in repairing small accordions, but I had some old tools and I don't like them anymore. Can anyone help by suggesting where I can buy the basic tools needed in accordion repair process? I want to get them from the internet, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Many thanks in advance!

This is a frequent question and one of the frequent suggestions is:

Carini Andrea - Tuner Accordion Castelfidardo - Google Search

The most common suggestion is the Carini store: www.carinidena.it (or also www.carinidena.com).
They sell almost all possible tools you might need. You have to consider prices because some tools are very expensive (for instance a tool for unscrewing buttons (and screwing them back in), or tuners (while there are cheap and free apps for the phone). Also, for all but the most delicate tuning cheap small files from the hardware store work fine whereas the high-grade swiss files Carini sells are quite expensive...

Right, so look at the Carini website to find out what type of tools you need, and then visit a local hardware store and maybe an "arts and crafts" store and see what they offer (for much less money) that will also work.
