billyboy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi, i have a Suttner A2-32. i have recently noticed that air seems to be leaking from where the pad board meets the bellows. Sorry if my nomenclature isn't correct. I had to take the action box and pad board off about a year ago to look at a muffled reed. What is the best way to stop this air leak? Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Acott Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Bill, try raising the knap on the chamois leather and then refitting the ends , it may be all that is needed. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyboy Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Mike - woohoo! that seemed to help a lot. my suttner has square reed chambers and the chamois gasket is pretty thin, so i just used the edge of my fingernail as i was afraid of messing something up. curiously, the chamois fabric around the hex outside edge is even thinner and more narrow for some reason. But your suggestion worked so thank you so much! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
