Hi Greg and Dana thanks for your advice - i put the concertina through a re-humidification program and it gained back about 70 percent of its tone. Then I did some exploratory surgery and found that indeed it had cracked along an old repair scar on what I guess is the action board: there's a small crack between three holes. It's obviously already been repacked and glued once, so I have Dave Elliots book on order and I'll see if there are any cures possible with the materials available up here. thanks again for your advice Bremner

Hi I've just moved up to Dawson City, in the Yukon, and it's really really dry. My concertina (Lachenal 43888) has lost all it's pressure... there's just wind and breathy tones coming out of it. Is it the humidity, or the change of pressure in the flights? (though it's flown before with no problem) any advice? many thanks Bremner
