Aquarussell Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Where should I go to order valves for my Lachenal? I have a failed valve (D above middle C) and both reeds sound together. Thanks, Aquarussell Russell Hedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqzbxr Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 In the U.S., your best bet would probably be The Button Box or one of the makers/repairers on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) But a faulty valve wouldn't make "both reeds sound together"... If you're getting a second note sounding there may be a leakage between adjacent reed chambers, possibly through damage to the gasket, but more likely because the reedpan has dropped - which is something that often happens because one of the corner support blocks has become detached.

Terry McGee Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hmmm, I think I need a forum that answers questions I haven't even thought of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.elliott Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 with both reeds sounding together, do you mean both 'D's, or a 'D' and another?? Stephen is right, you would not get both reeds sounding together, but a valve fault might give you might a beating / rumbling sound in one direction of bellows play only A reed pan support block failing will usually give two different note pitches sounding.
