Reccomended Repairer / Restorer Cheshire / Nw Area

[Myrmy]

Hi All

 

I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a good restorer in my area (Cheshire / NW) to overhaul a 48 key English Lachenal - Its turn of the century from what I can gather (c. 1898) probably needs a retune to Concert pitch and a couple of the buttons need a seeing to

 

Thanks Folks!

The Hobgoblin shop on Oxford Road Manchester have a concertina repairer under contract, and they did a lovely job on my Wheatstone EC a few years ago - obviously the shop act as agents so don't reveal their ID but it was a quick turnaround and wasn't expensive.

 

Dave Elliot http://www.concertina-repair.org.uk/ literally wrote the book on repairing concertinas and is just over the Pennines in Sheffield. I took one look at the aforementioned book and decided that I'd always get work done by somebody like him who knows what they're doing.

What about Roy Whiteley at Accordion Magic? (www.accordionmagic.com). He's done some lovely repairs to concertinas which you can see on his website and he's in Knutsford

It is a good chance, that it was Roy Whiteley: http://www.accordionmagic.com/index.html who is in Cheshire.

And Dave Lees http://www.concertina-spares.com/ is an easy run along the N Wales coast.

Andrew Norman tuned and refurbished my New Model Lachenal duet and made a crackingjob of it, as you would expect.

To follow up on my earlier posts I've just had one end off my Wheatstone to free a gummy reed, and there's a Repaired By Accordion Magic sticker inside
