Plural of accorder; multiple people who tune musical instruments.
The simple plural of accorder, formed by adding -s. Each accorder is a specialist in bringing instruments into proper pitch agreement.
Before electronic tuners existed, accorders were the gatekeepers of good sound—orchestras had their preferred accorders, just like we might have favorite mechanics for our cars today. A good accorder was worth their weight in gold.
The -er suffix historically defaults masculine; as a role noun (ones who accord or tune), it lacks gender-neutral standardization.
Use 'people who accord/tune' or specify roles; if used, pair with pronouns or identifiers.
