Hohner AtlanticIV IV N Deluxe-actually i removed the keys which wasn't all that difficult-removed the grille-removed the brass pins underneath each key and released the keys-the piece of material(wood)with a strip of felt-running from one end of the keyboad to the other was dislodged-i glued it back into position-put all the keys back into their proper position-noticed in the middle of the keyboard- 'B' note-long white key was not sitting properly-just left it and when i replaced the grille and tried playing the accordion-as soon as i opened the bellows sound was coming out from that 'B' note. I removed the grille again-pulled out the brass clip below that 'B' note key and took out the key-looked at the plastic rectangular piece that covers the opening and it appeared to be missing the proper 'felt' pad like all the rest-for that reason there's not a good seal and of course sound is escaping without pressing down on the key. Can i fix this myself or should i take it to an accordion music shop? I'd appreciate any help here-thanks again.
