Greetings. I have started working with the restoration of mid 1800's
accordeons. Since I am new to this group, I don't know what is
possible, and would like someone to help me identify the wood species.
Is there a place in this group where I can post a few pictures, and
have someone look at them? The research on these instruments I was able
to do had one account that said the veneer was rosewood with holly
lines (accent trim). Most of the instruments were imported into the USA
from Paris France, however other were also made in the USA. To my
untrained eye, the wood looks like walnut, however factors such as age,
finish, etc. make it even more difficult to tell. All help is greatly
appreciated. Thank you in advance. Andy
