Reeds sound sweet in the heat !?
« on: June 29, 2019, 08:49:32 PM »

Don’t know if it’s just me , but to my ears my box sounds particularly nice tone today . Don’t know if the heatwave has any effect on the tone or not . Anyone else notice the same or is it just me ????

Absolutely. My box can vary between stodgy and fairly responsive. The sound seems to be affected by the time of day, how long since I last played it etc. so I'd totally believe that temperature and humidity also play a part.

Heat induced delusions  >:E

It's been hot here for quite a while and my boxes still sound as rubbish as their player's talent (or lack thereof).

how long since I last played it etc.
I do think my boxes growl slightly more satisfyingly after a period they weren't played.

Do you have a Hohner from 1934-1945 with a serial number on?
Send me a private message or comment on the German Accordion Problem spreadsheet to improve the statistics of the project and get an estimate of the production date of the box if it is not known.
