I need to replace the treble section on an old accordion, do you have a video to show how to do that ... it's a piano accordion

ive got two of those reed block things in my accordian. a whole lot of them are missing their leather flaps and they're just scattered around the inside of the accordian. can you buy the leather flaps with the adhesive and metal spring or do most people just go buy the materials?

CAUTION: If you are doing this for the first (or even second or third times) you are more likely to damage other reeds while handling the reed block. I would only suggest trying this if you have a test accordion that you don't value very much. Even a soft touch to any reeds or leathers could throw off tuning and create a gargling sound. You are likely to do more harm than good
