Hi all,
first I want to thank all of you for your tips. You convinced me that I should give my clowncertina a chance
So tomorrow I am going to buy some transparent elastic tape (fixomull) and try to fix the hole. Sorry no colored tape ?
As I currently do not need the highest keys I will keep the challenge of opening the concertina and checking the reed for later.
I fear I could damage some sealing. But not for long. I am quite interested what kind of reeds I will find inside, single ones or that kind where several reeds are placed on one plate.
I am not quite good in my first steps on this instrument (alternating between left keys and right keys is really difficult to learn) but in my opinion this concertina has a nice sound.
So thank you for your friendly welcome. I'll keep you informed.
Peter
