Buttons (keys) replacements

[Robin Harrison]

A few years ago I was able to buy from Jurgen Suttner some buttons (keys) to replace some very, very thin ones I did not like on an anglo.

        He doesn't sell them anymore however.

They came  two parts; the stem and the chrome (or S/S ) cap, allowing you to customise the length.

      Anyone have any ideas where I might now get some now  ?

Thanks for any help.

You could try:

Mark Lloyd- Adey - concertina-spares   <mark@concertina-spares.com>

[wunks]

www.concertinaconnection.com is listing bushed chrome over wood buttons.  Flat or domed.

Thanks John & wunks .....The first doesn't seem to do new and the second, not the right sort.

             Need to keep looking.....................I wonder if any concertina builders out there could point me in the right direction.

you might want to try ballpen caps (you know, the metal ends to press on)

Hi Robin, 

 

just how many keys are you looking for? Have you done a drawing?

Dave.............I'm looking to re-button a 38 key Jeffries.

            I bought the current buttons from Jurgen Suttner a few years ago (5 or 6 ?) and at that time he sold them in one piece or in two.

  I find them much too long for my playing style such that I've never really played the instrument much.....

    I imagine these buttons are still available somewhere as concertinas are still being built.

          I will give away the current buttons to anyone who could use them....they will be no longer useful to me.

Thanks

Robin
