Getting the most out of an inexpensive chromatic button accordion

Getting the most out of an inexpensive chromatic button accordion Bought a chromatic button accordion and fixed some things.
Contents:
1:00 - Description of the accordion
4:10 - Removing the fifth of the dominant seventh chords
11:04 - Adding an extra bass register
17:02 - Improving the treble-bass balance
(NOTE: Regarding the loosening of the reed blocks to improve resonance (22:30), I now have my doubts about this and have tightened them quite firmly. I now think this is better since the vibrations travel more easily through the material when it is tightened. Apologies for the dissemination of fake news, and I still don't know what's fake and what's real!)

Treble:
5 rows, 83 buttons (6 dummy buttons)
