Frigid Accordion?

If you are cold, your accordion is cold. If you are comfortable, your accordion is comfortable. From time to time we need to take our accordions out to play away from home but freezing temperatures are not recommended for lengthy periods of time. If an accordion is allowed to get so cold that it is uncomfortable to touch, do not play it! Let it warm to room temperature first. You can hurry this process a bit by holding down the air button while operating the bellows in and out. This brings warm air inside the instrument where it counts the most. The main concern is for the reeds, leather and wax. These materials can be damaged by playing an accordion that is very cold.
