how does bronzing work? like moms do with our first pair of shoes. couldn't you do that and keep it around? my mom's yahrzeit was recently so i'm kind of a sentimental softie about these things.

Good thought, but the problem is 1) finding a place to display a full-sized bronzed accordion in the house and 2) trying to convince my girlfriend not to leave me for displaying a full-sized bronzed accordion in the house.

your second point is an alien concept to me as i cannot fathom dating someone who wouldn't wanted a full-sized bronzed accordion in the house but as for your first point, a nice mantelpiece?

You clearly have a superior sense of domestic aesthetic. Sadly, I can't see it as a practical option given the circumstances.

You ever decide you want to adopt an old disabled accordion, you know where to find me.

Tell you what - I'm gonna hold out to see who else replies for now. Truth be told I'm hoping someone will be able to look at it, tell me it's fixable, take it, and make it live again. That may or may not be realistic, but I wanna see first.

DM me if your roommate is interested, and if nothing else pans out I'll let you know. That ok?

no problem! i'm still all about bronzing it and putting it on your mantel, maybe with a bronze plaque that says "mama's squeezebox".

And now I feel obligated to write a song called Mama's Squeezebox.

The Who already did, so you could just play it and focus on finding a take or a place for your newly guilded heirloom haha
