Big Thanks To Concertina.net And Greg Jowaisas

[BCarveth]

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Concertina.net (especially Heavyweight Boxer and Chatty concertinist) for helping me diagnose a cracked reed. I sent the reed pair to Greg Jowaisas who did a terrific job and got my instrument back in play quickly. This is a George Case English (brass reeds), dating from about 1865 or so. I was afraid that the new reed would be too brash or too bright, but the blend of the new reed with the rest is pretty much perfect. Greg's work was tops.

 

Let's face it. Until you have a lot of experience, keeping a very old instrument in good playing condition often takes a team. Thanks a lot to you guys for helping me out.
