Dear Colleagues

I want to purchase a new tuning table and I want something that is foot operated.
I have seen some homemade models on the internet.
Does anyone have one for sale?

Your best bet is to make a tuning table by yourself. The main component you will need to buy is the bellows. You need to get a bellows that is large enough to fit at least the inside (reed blocks) of a complete standard bass inside. For a treble side the size is less critical because the reed blocks tend not to protrude past the rim of the treble case, but for the bass side the reed blocks protrude into the bellows. You can make a few "covers" with the right size hole for a larger and a smaller (half) accordion and one for testing one or two reeds on a reed block (to check valve operation and voicing, not to do tuning).

I will do so Debra. I tried to find one build already but unsuccessfully. So I have only one option. To build myself one! Thanks for your answer! :)
 
There was a company in Russia that made a powered one, but it was crazy expensive.
The powered ones I have seen are for testing individual reeds. They are crazy expensive and they make noise.
To do tuning you don't want a hum (from a compressor) in the background, and you want a table with a gap you can place a half accordion over.
