Just peeking into the rabbit hole that is accordion straps. I'm still just a novice player, using the very heavy 120 bass accordion I inherited from my grandad. It's probably at least WWII vintage, and the leather straps are showing their age. I've adjusted the straps one hole just to take the strain off the weakest part, but definitely need to replace them sooner rather than later. So tonight I learnt that it is a 120 bass (never counted them until today, just noted there were lots of them), the left strap should be longer than the right (✅), and some people use something called a bass strap (none here!) #accordions #MusicalInstruments
