I thought there would be more reaction: he wears out his Suttner in 2 years! explains all his foot pedals.

I just came across this video: he mentions using DPA 4061 microphones

If you can't hear yourself, you must be getting right.

Hi Jody http://orchid-electronics.co.uk/contact_mic.htm With this and micrvox mikes, I had too high a signal, but with some home made copies it works well. Graham

With a 2006 Wakker anglo I have had most of the leather discs, between pad and leather bead on levers, fail. In fact I dont think they could have been leather, glue was fine on both surfaces, but disintergrated between. The concertina became much crisper in action after all pads were reattached.

Audacity is cross platform: https://www.audacityteam.org/

1st, 2nd, chord etc in scale as selected from rotating ends as marked on left side.

Have you checked pad is lifting fully?

And some running inside out into the handles.

Numbers are showing octave range: C4 is middle C.

Comments from a long term G/D anglo player, with 30 buttons, mainly Wheatstone layout. My top note Is F#6 and lowest G2, your layout is in the baritone range, yours is G5? Your C# row gives you all the notes, but no Ds on the draw or Es on press. I find those essential. I am happy with the accidental row. Graham

Hi, I have a Wakker anglo, where after removal of the screws, there is a strong ''glue tack'' that I have to break. This still happens after 10 years, there is no sticky feeling after making the break. I hold bellows in two hands and then push ends with thumbs together on one side. You have to be firmer than you would expect.
