Curt Geiger Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) My son is trying to find a replacement button for his great grandfather's Rigoletto Concertina. Have done lots of searching on the internet - have come up empty. Looking for some help. See photos.

David Barnert Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Can’t hurt to ask at the Button Box (buttonbox.com), although they might not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ghent Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Ask a modelmaker with a lathe to make you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Taylor Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Maybe you could make one fairly easily from some wood dowel of the right diameter and and a few coats of white appliance paint. If you cannot make a good aesthetic match then use the air release button for the missing note button and put the mismatch on the air release, maybe even paint it black so that it looks deliberately different.

Curt Geiger Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Yes -- this is a good backup plan -- if we cannot find a replacement button. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJV19 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi. (First time post). I have what appears to be an identical concertina. It is missing an entire reed block, but all the buttons are there. They may be slightly yellowed. I’d be happy to pass it on to you for parts. (I’m in Portland.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
