Azalin Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Well, one note on my concertina wasn't playing at all. I could hear air going through, but no sound. I knew it wasn't the lever, spring or similar because the note on the push was working, but not the one on the pull. It took me a while to notice because it's the very high C, which I use in only a couple of tunes (Trim the Velvet in G, or Drunken Sailor hornpipe in Am for example). Anyhow, looking closely at the 'defective' reed, I noticed there was a hair bit stuck in it! I tried with different pieces of paper but they wouldn't really do the job, until I tried my Tax Return notice from the government. It was perfect for the job, and the hair vanished in the sky (ok, the room) and I could play my super high C again. Thank you, Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 It wasn't so taxing after all. I hope you pay them their due, then! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
