I've torn into the accordion on my buildup, and find that there are a
number of reeds that are just plain dead.  Cleaned out all the dirt and
looked at them real hard, and can't see any obstruction.  So the only
thing left is that the temper of the steel has given out after so many
years of going back and forth.

And so...  Where does one get accordion reeds?  I realize I could just
take this to a shop, but that wouldn't be as much fun!  Besides, I'd
like to replace the whole set so as to raise the pitch an octave and
brighten it up a bit.

Cheers,
