Wheezy Jackie

[Reed Bellows]

I have a Jackie, and when I use the air button the instrument wheezes.

 

Is this normal, or is there something that can be done to "clear the air", as it were?

 

Thanks in advance!

My Rochelle wheezes too - I think it's to be expected. If you're on the Jackie though, do you really need the air button that much? You can pull the bellows whichever way you like.

It's more when I'm done playing and I want to close the bellows than anything else.
