Squeezebox Of Delights Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 So I have a couple of old Lachenal concertinas I am working on, one with steel reeds and the other with brass reeds. One steel reed and one brass reed have a sheared bolt, and one brass reed shoe is entirely missing its tongue. Does anyone know how to get hold of replacement reeds/tongues/bolts? I have tried Mark Lloyd-Adey twice (once in January, once in June) but he hasn’t responded, so I have pretty much given up on that. Thanks!

Theo Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I'm sorry I only have a very limited number of spare reeds, and I really need to preserve them for my own repair work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Gleeson Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 On Ebay at the moment is a 36 key Lachenal Anglo for sale, one of the photos is the receipt for it being restored by C Wheatsone & Co in 2008 and one of the items is for re-tonguing some reeds, so they might be able to help? I am awaiting 3 replacement reeds from Mark for my Rock Chidley EC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) The Button Box has more than once replaced reeds for me. Quote We have most types of reeds, valves, straps and other replacement parts on hand. Edited August 21, 2020 by David Barnert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
