Replacing the felt on my accordion

[wout]

Hello! I replaced the felt on the pallets of my accordion. I made a little video on the process.
Hope it is interesting to watch (also comments welcome, I am in a learning process). It took me about 3 hours for the whole job. The waxing part was the hardest, because sometimes a tiny drop of wax runs down the pallet and you can start all over again. The most annoying part of the job was once the wax was dry making everything airtight. Lots of thanks to http://www.accordionrevival.com/ !!!!

Here is the movie:

Good video! Here are a few tips you may wish to try next time.

1. In the future, start all recordings with the phone sideways (landscape) orientation, the video will look bigger and better on YouTube.

2. Get yourself a cheap tripod and use a small adapter and rubber band to hold the phone to the tripod, thus freeing up 2 of your hands and also removing all fast camera movement that can cause motion sickness in some people.

Thank-you for taking the time and effort in making the video. If no one else does (and I doubt it), I am appreciative that you made it for us!
