I read the piece in this forum about antique instruments and the hint on making your own repairs.. and it goes for all ages of concertinas also..mine is from more contemporary times ( circa 1990s).. And over years I have made all kinds of little adjustments .. most hid out of view inside. I recently solved one issue of notes sounding when they should not have been by simply adjusting where the little springs rested( torsion springs).. this was simply by pushing to right side ..and it worked..! The tension of the wire improved at last.. Inside also now and again, I have added tiny rubber tubing to aid the buttons alignment. Yes it sounds odd.. but it works ( Hohner branded Stagi made Anglo).. 25 years of use, and I know it like an extension of my own hands by now.. So, you must all have made your own very personal adjustments over the years? But if it helps and works . It is ok..just think what is inside some guitars or old pianos!!
