Upgrading parts of Jackie

[Guest mattCD]

I just got my new jackie and am thrilled. (There is one note that is alittle weak and buzzy) Are there things that can be done to add ornamentation to the Jackie? Are bellow papers simply applied to the bellows with adhesive? Could the plastic buttons be replaced with metal? I know some would say just save up your money for an upgrade but life is full of more important expenses.

One of my friends got her Jackie painted with canalboat style roses (aka bargeware)

Hi Matt

 

The jury is still out on the promise of racing stripes to play faster, but bellows papers can be added in lots of different styles without too much difficulty.
