Needs a visit to an accordion tech, the problem could be jammed reeds (dust/hair in the reed), choking reeds (too much pressure), jammed valves etc.

What kind of accordion - which are the top notes? Most accordions have more than one reed per note - some could have failed. Has the accordion got buttons above the keyboard for changing the sound (i.e. the reed configuration)?

Could be the set of the reeds or a bit of dust. The top notes have very small reeds.

What kind of accordion? Where are you?

We've just acquired an accordion and the top 4 notes seem very weak by comparison to the others. They require more bellows pressure to get the same volume as the other notes. Maybe even more so if playing left hand chords as well.
Problem?
Solution?
Cost?
Cheers.
