Hi all!

I ordered an accordion online and it came today, a Rubin 6

Unfortunately, it must have got knocked during shipping as notes are playing without any buttons pressed.

This includes the bass side.

No buttons get stuck down when I press them, except when I switch to free bass mode (the rubin 6 is a converter bass) in which case the bass buttons do stick down when I press them and only come back up when I switch back to stradella.

Any ideas on how I could attempt to fix it? I have fixed problems in a stradella system before for another accordion but that one wasn't a converter so I'm not sure what to expect when I open it up!

I'm hoping the treble side will be nice and easy to fix, but the bass side definitely seems like the more difficult task.

Should I even attempt to try fix it myself? Would that ruin any possibility of a refund if it's properly broken?

I do think I probably could fix it if I tried but it is still quite scary :D
