rayhomewood Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hi, I had a Lachenal C/G many years ago, but after a lapse I have just acquired an old (DDR) BM 20-button Anglo. I think most reeds are ok, but there are a few sticky notes and one reed sounding all the time in both directions. Plus one missing button (which I may be able to bodge with a piece of dowel). Any tips on the action of cheap DDR concertinas and people who may have spares would be very welcome. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhomewood Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Plus, does anyone know where ‘I can find coloured muslin tape or similar to line the ends, please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The only way I know of to get spare parts, like buttons, for this sort of concertina is to find another one you can take them from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayhomewood Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Update: loose pallet (no circular pads here!) fixed. No more constant note. Loose button fixed. Replacement for missing button top awaiting painting and fixing. Only valves/reeds to sort. Couple of duff buttons on l/h hopefully due to missing valves, but will investigate with trepidation!
