Sticky note on English Bastari
genepinefield replied to LilaMable's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
It can also be effective to light the action board from below. Hold a BBQ skewer in your dominant hand and fit the action board in as far as it will go. When you find a button that doesn't fit into a hole, insert the skewer into it and poke it gently to fit it into the hole. Rather than fitting them horizontally, it's better to fit each row diagonally starting from the back row. When you finish fitting each row, the tops of the buttons will be a little stuck in, like the first problem. This is because if you fit too many buttons in, it will be difficult to fit the next row of buttons in.

Hi What do you think about synthetic leather gussets deteriorating over time and forming holes? Also, if you were to replace it with genuine leather, how much do you think it would cost?

Wanted: Wheatstone paper label scan

Hi, I'm not sure the size and year. It was created from a photo. It is distorted because it was not captured with a flat scanner. You can use trial Illustrator. https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/illustrator/free-trial-download.html wheatstone_logo_maybe_1910.ai -
Refurbish/Rebuild for a low quality concertina
genepinefield replied to Cathasach's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
Hello The bellows gusset is synthetic leather. As a result, pinholes will open over time and cause air leaks. https://concertina.pinefield.asia/gusset-repairs-synthetic-leather-concertina-bellows/ For me, repairing the bellows is more motivating than replacing the reed. -
which would be best glue to use
genepinefield replied to robcamj's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
I also use fish glue when I replace the gusset of cheap concertina. https://concertina.pinefield.asia/gusset-repairs-synthetic-leather-concertina-bellows -

Hello Compared to 15 years ago, the quality of the metal parts at the bottom of the buttons is very poor. Perhaps the machines that die-cut them have not been updated.

Bellows Papers...aesthetic only?
genepinefield replied to Caroline's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Hi The bellows backing is the color of the cardboard, so I put the leather itself, leather patterned paper, or patterned paper on top (because leather is more expensive than paper). I have used a variety of papers and fabrics (Liberty Print) when repairing gussets. I used fish glue to attach the paper. https://concertina.pinefield.asia/gusset-repairs-synthetic-leather-concertina-bellows-4/#完成 *If your concertina's gusset is made of synthetic leather, expect it to degrade and pit in 10 years due to moisture in the air. When you do that repair, you can change the paper. -
I also agree with this method. When you turn the end and action board upside down and put the button in the hole, you can see the gap where the skewer is inserted by shining light from the bottom.

Can Tuning the reeds up one note?
genepinefield replied to genepinefield's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
@TheoThanks,I was wondering if it was shipped with the wrong tuning at the time of manufacture. Because I heard that this instrument was purchased 15 years ago and hadn't been used much. I'll check the reed -
HOHNER English Concertina 48Key treble reveted action with accordion reeds. Push and pull should be F6, but E6 comes out by pushing. Can I tuning the reeds up one note? For this, I made a tuning bellows, but I have absolutely no skill in tuning.

Hello, I found a post long ago in a search. Is this a concertina for this model? The bellows are not leather, like a paper. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/hohner-concertina-c48-276900634
