Jody Kruskal Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Where are the springs hiding on the McNeela Anglo concertina? It's one of their better models, perhaps a Curlew. My student and I thought to fix a busted spring, took the end off and there were no visible springs on the levers or action board. Disassembly stopped there because everything else was waxed in. They must be underneath the buttons, I guess, but there does not seem to be much room in there... and what would such a spring look like? https://mcneelamusic.com/the-curlew-concertina/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following Dana's advice I experimented with those when I attempted my 3D printed action board. They are acceptibly easy to wind yourself.
