Along with samovars and gingerbread, the Tula accordion has become a symbol of the city, known far beyond its borders. The production of this musical instrument began in Tula at the beginning of the 19th century, and already at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Tula accordion won medals and received international recognition at the International Trade Exhibition in Paris.

Now accordions and button accordions are produced at the Tula Accordion factory, which is located on the site of the former Melodiya factory in Krivoluchye.

A team of craftsmen is involved in the creation of each musical instrument, and all parts are made and assembled by hand.

The path of each accordion begins with the choice of wood from which it will actually be made. The body of the accordion is made of birch, and the resonators are made of pine. After the wood is delivered to the factory, it is dried in a special hangar, where sensors maintain a certain temperature and humidity. On average, it takes two weeks to dry a tree.

In the machine shop, dried wood is sawn and blanks are made for the body and resonators of the future folk instrument.

On a special CNC machine, details and a trademark are made for each tool.

The logo has been preserved since the existence of the Melodiya factory.

Joiners manually level the surface, smooth out irregularities and, like a designer, assemble the frame of the right and left parts of the accordion.

Thin layers of celluloid (synthetic material) are soaked in baths with a special solution, as a result it becomes soft and perfectly adheres to the wooden surface.

The glued parts of the body are sent for drying for a week.

To give the case a glossy finish, upper part celluloid is cleaned with iron cycles and polished on a special machine.

Then all the cases are carefully measured so that the parts fit perfectly together.

The polished cases go to the artist, who paints each instrument with screen paints.

Then the bodies, necks and basses go to the assembly and tuning shop. Here they collect the inner part of the accordion, its heart.

A special bar with “voices” is glued onto the resonators - this is the name of the valves that control the movement of air. Each "voice" has its own tone.

Masters collect electric cardboard and hermetically close the corners with a husky. This is how accordion furs are obtained.

When all parts of the instrument are assembled, the accordion goes to the tuner.

In small booths, each tuner has a special box. The master tunes each resonator by ear and cleans up each "voice". The tuners themselves call themselves doctors with a set of special tools. By the way, with the help of such a mechanism, harmonies were tuned back in the 19th century.

At the tuned instrument, the bodies and furs are “shuttered”.

Then the accordion is waiting for the test in the technical control department. The specialist checks the tool for tightness, the operation of the keyboard mechanisms and eliminates the shortcomings.

The controller checks the instrument for compliance with quality standards and writes out a harmonica document - a passport.

Then the instruments are prepared for shipment: the accordion is carefully wiped, the fastening of the straps is checked, packed in foam cradles and placed in boxes.

Together with the tool, a special case and a set of straps are sent to the box.

Now the instrument is complete!

By the way, Tula instruments are played in the Alexandrov Ensemble. Harmoniums and button accordions made in Tula are delivered to ensembles throughout Russia, as well as to Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Australia.

Well, I made my first accordion ... I must say right away that when it came time to write this article, I found out with great annoyance that most of the photographs taken in the process were lost. Therefore, you will have to be content with only a part of them and what happened in the end ...

It took me almost 7 months to get it. Even despite the fact that I did not make the voice bars myself, but used ready-made ones. Although, a caveat is needed here: not all this time I was engaged only in this one, there were significant breaks for the repair of other instruments (on order) and if it was possible to focus only on it, then it could be done in three months.

The concept of the future accordion

I started working at the very beginning of October 2011. By that time, the concept of the future instrument had already formed quite clearly in my head: it was supposed to be an accordion of small size, three-voiced (two voices in one octave, one one octave higher) and, at the same time, almost full lame. Almost - because, in order to reduce the final size, I decided to remove the unused lowest keys of the right keyboard.

Thus, as a result, the dimensions of the harmonica body along the perimeter were 270x160mm. Keys - 23 on the right, 25 on the left. Bass is four-part, more typical for cheap factory instruments. The key is F-major. Further - in order, what and how was done.

Frame

The case was made of slats purchased at a hardware store 5mm thick and 60mm wide. Material - I do not know exactly what, but I suspect that it is spruce. I selected them carefully, choosing dense, straight-grained, without knots, wood.

At the corners of the case there are metal corners made from the duralumin left grille of Belarus, the same one that was a donor when my Chaika was converted to wooden resonators a year and a half ago.

The outer ends of the walls of the case are also edged with strips of duralumin.

Both decks - left and right - are made of plywood. The right grilles are cut with a jigsaw. The drawing is simple, invented in the process.

The case was covered with mahogany stain and decided not to decorate with anything. Maybe just for now, or maybe not at all.

Fretboard and mechanics of the right keyboard

I made the fingerboard of the right keyboard from beech planks from tare boxes found on vacation in the summer in my grandfather's village, when I did not yet know that I would start such a business in the fall (there was only an idea to try to make the neck in my own way).

The neck is glued. All grooves for wooden keys are formed by gluing partitions onto the base board. This method, in my opinion, has at least two advantages over the traditional one, when the grooves are cut (or how are they made there?) in a solid bar: firstly, the wood fibers are located along the partitions, and not across, which additionally gives them strength; secondly, the hole for the axle is drilled according to the marking even before the partitions are glued, which is just convenient.

Furs

The furs are made by me from ... paper. This is probably not very good in terms of durability, but for the first experience, I think it is acceptable. Only in their manufacture I made, due to short-sightedness, a small oversight - I made only thirteen borins. And for such a small volume of the hull, it was necessary to make about seventeen of them ... Now I myself can’t answer the question “Why?” ... After all, I knew ... But, looking ahead, I’ll say that in the end the problem turned out to be not so critical. Simply, the direction of movement of the furs has to be changed a little more often.

Voice part

As for the vocal part, at first I had grandiose plans to make, at a minimum, the front bars on the right, solid, home-made, because I already had such an experience. But, later, I abandoned them, deciding that I would save my strength and time for the next time.

These planks were brass, albeit lumpy, which surprised me a lot, expecting to see traditional duralumin. At that moment, it was finally decided to put them. I was not even embarrassed by the not very high quality of their manufacture, namely, the considerable gaps between the voice and the edges of the opening. The main thing - it was brass!

The slats were cleaned of corrosion and old glue, the pledges were re-glued.

Several planks had to be rebuilt from close ones in tone, as they were not enough for the desired tonality. One broken voice re-made and riveted. The resonators on the right side are made completely from scratch with their own hands, with input chambers matched to the tone. I did them for 10 days, being on vacation (in October). Due to the small size of the case, the piccolos had to be placed standing up, each row on a separate resonator. Although, it would be nice to "put" them on the deck for a more interesting sound.

The bass resonator is made from the resonator of the aforementioned accordion by removing everything superfluous (just sawed off part of it and installed a set of bars of the desired tone). Bass-seven (without F-sharp). Bass bars (they were duralumin) were "knocked down" to reduce gaps and, as a result, improve response.

The chord resonator is also made from scratch.

About setting

It took a week to set up. But, when the accordion is played, you still have to adjust, since the interference in the "life" of some voices was very significant: the donor accordion had a strong filling, and I did not sort the strips before installing them on the resonators. As a result, in place of many combatant voices, they turned out to be greatly underestimated. In general, with a good setting, you still have to tinker. And with the bottling, it seems, I didn’t guess very well - the timbre turned out to be not the most interesting.

We listen to the sound (on the first video-comparison with the Seagull, on the second - "Old Maple", the third video - "Lady"). I will say right away that the third video (“Lady”), recorded closest to the camera, most accurately conveys the sound. And this ... It seems that during the time spent on this accordion, I, a little, forgot how to play ...:

The simplest, but an interesting activity, which the child can handle, will be the creation of a small paper accordion. In the same time, complex options made in the origami technique, even adults can make it, except perhaps according to a template. As for the dimensions, as well as appearance paper product, then the accordion can be not only completely small, decorative, that is, souvenir, but also a life-size model.

What do you need to make a paper accordion?

Depending on the level of complexity of the chosen manufacturing method, it may be necessary to different instruments and materials. Basically, you need A4 paper, a roll and a printed template. You may also need cardboard, glue, pencils with a ruler, paints and felt-tip pens for coloring products. If desired, you can use any decor.

Advice

The most important thing in making an accordion is patience and perseverance, as well as attentiveness during the creation of crafts.

Making with a baby

If the kid asks you how to make an accordion out of paper, it would be best to offer him the simplest method by which the kid himself can create the desired item. If you wish to do this with him, then why not make a more complex and believable accordion. Letting the baby paint the finished product, and also helps to create it. If origami has become an interesting and exciting thing for you, you have enough patience, then try to implement the most complex options for creating an accordion. Such crafts not only look like real ones, but are also unique masterpieces, and this is also a great opportunity to show your skills. If you need to make a life-size accordion, then you will need colored, dark, and also light cardboard along with a creasing tool. Before creating a fold, a guide is drawn on the sheet, which will prevent the very dense cardboard from creasing and give an even and neat line. There are even more complex creation methods. There, the product is made of several parts and a frame. For this, cardboard and paper are used.

Large, decorative accordion

To make such a musical instrument, you will need decorative paper or wallpaper, cardboard, for example, corrugated, as well as masking tape and PVA. You can not do without Moment glue or other quick fix glue. You will need a pencil with a ruler, clips or clothespins, as well as various details for decoration. Although the manufacturing technology is very laborious, requiring a sufficient amount of time, the materials needed are almost the same as for a small decorative product.

It is necessary to cut 4 rectangles from the wallpaper. Sizes are chosen as convenient. For example, 12x40 or 7x40. Make 2 pieces of each size. From them then it will be necessary to make furs. After that with wrong side parts are glued with masking tape. Next is the markup on the blanks. These are small, barely noticeable stripes at an equal distance from each other. Subsequently, folds are made along them. Then, on the inner folds, you need to make cuts with a depth of 1.5 centimeters. To prevent very thin wallpaper from tearing beyond the cuts, masking tape was glued. For parts that will be placed vertically on the accordion in the future, you will need to make bends-corners based on the resulting incisions.

From cardboard, you need to cut out rectangles that correspond to the height, as well as the "depth" of the accordion. For example, here 12x7 centimeters. Their number should be equal to the number of folds on the blanks. These are such peculiar stiffening ribs for accordion bellows. Moment glue is smeared on the smaller end of the cardboard blank, after which it is inserted into the first fold of the accordion strip, where there are cuts. Then you need to additionally secure it with clamps. Similarly, you will need to do with all the cardboard rectangles. This creates the top of the accordion bellows. Next, you need to make the bottom. When the structure is completely dried and glued, it is necessary to close the resulting "skeleton" with the facade, as well as the back.

Side parts

The sides of the accordion are made in the form of 2 cardboard boxes of appropriate sizes. You can also make an application in the form of buttons and keys - this decor will give the paper accordion credibility.

Conclusion:

Creating an accordion out of paper is not a difficult, but interesting process. It will be mastered, even by a child. There are many options for creating such crafts. The level of difficulty must be correlated with your capabilities.

But what if such an accordion made of paper, made with your own hands, really produces a couple of notes? There are even entire communities where craftsmen post full lessons on gluing such models and give complete schemes for cutting details.

How to make an accordion out of paper - a simplified version

Paper origami accordion

If you already have some experience with paper, you can complicate the process. This time the harmonica furs will be made much more difficult. Consider how to make an accordion out of paper, which will also give out a couple of notes:

First, print out the base. On it you will find fold lines indicated by dotted and dotted lines. Everything that is indicated by a dotted line, bend up. All lines marked with dots are bent down. The gray areas on the parts are for adhesive application.
So, we begin to gradually bend step by step.

Next, glue the workpiece into a tube.
We begin to gradually bend along the lines of the harmonica fur.
Along the edges of the line are marked in a different way. We will also bend them in the opposite way: a dotted line down, and a dotted line up.
