melodona Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hello I'm in Montreal and would like to know which would be the best closest place for me to order replacement reeds from. Got a Lachenal & Co with two broken reeds. E4 & E5. Thank you. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Ways Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I am aware that the Button Box has spare reeds for repair purposes. Give them a call, perhaps they can help. I imagine that anyone who services concertinas may have extra reeds salvaged from concertinas that they were not able to otherwise salvage. http://www.buttonbox.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hornett Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Julie, Brass reeds? I can supply two lacunal brass reeds in these notes. What is the pitch: a440 / 442/ 453 / 437 or something else, but what ever I have brass lachenal E4 and E5 reeds, as well as steel. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodona Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi David Thank you for your answer. They're brass. At 440. Where are you situated? Not Hobart... Australia? Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hornett Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Julie, Yes Hobart, Tasmania: we feel a little more special down here at the bottom of Australia. You will need to pay postage. If you are happy with that give me your address and I will send them and you can send the postage in Canadian money, i.e. post, for my daughter's foreign currency collection. Are yours from an anglo, or English? You may be interested to know that from the English reed board I am taking these reeds, all the other reeds are alloy, held with a single rivet, these two reeds are the exceptions, being brass and screws, so for some reason it must be a common fault with the two Es to break. Interesting. David deannadevers@bigpond.com David Hornett PO Box 308 Lenah Valley 7008 Tasmania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodona Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi David My client is the one who will decide if he wants to buy the reeds or not. You can send me the total price including postage at melodona@gmail.com. Thank you. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hornett Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi Julie, I thought it was for your own instrument you were asking and was giving the reeds to you: however, should your client wish to pay $5 a reed and $10.00 packing and postage they are his for $20 all up.
