Concertina Materials

[d.elliott]

At the risk of offending those who may shout 'Comercialism!' I hasten to point out that there is no self interest in this, I merely pass on the address of a new concertina related site.

 

My friend and supplier of many of the materials that I use is a chap called David Leese. Dave now has a web site: concertina-spares.com I think that this will become a useful site and contact for any small scale repairer, or for a player needing to do work. I might also add, from personal experience, that Dave is also quite happy to discuss and, give advice. He also makes a mean set of bellows.

 

I suggest that you visit the site and take a view.

I got some spares very quickly from David (Leese) and he was very patient with a newcomer to the instrument like me and took the time explain things thoroughly before I placed my order. I have now replaced my first pad on my Wheatstone English - succesfully!! The photos on his website of the parts are a big help too.

I'll add my recommendation to these. I've dealt with Dave over the last few months and he's most helpful and the parts are good.

[Sandy Winters]

I'll also add a recommendation for his repair and restoration work. He did the refurbishing and retuning work on a metal ended Wheatstone that I purchased from Chris Algar. Excellent work.

Thanks for the info, Dave. I added the link to the Links page and to the brief repair page here on Concertina.net.
