Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that precisely assembles each part of an accordion, performs adjustments and inspections, and manufactures it as a finished product.
Description
Accordion assemblers use special tools to assemble metal and plastic parts (reed plates, valves, key buttons, bells, bellows, etc.), measure dimensions with calipers or micrometers, and confirm airtightness with air leak tests. After assembly, they adjust the sound quality and inspect whether it meets quality standards. They may engage in line work or handle small-lot manual manufacturing.
Future Outlook
Due to the consolidation of musical instrument manufacturing bases domestically and internationally and the progress of automation, job openings are stable but not expected to increase significantly. Workers skilled in high-value-added products or repair and adjustment techniques are expected to have continued niche demand.
