Hello! I recently got my hands on a brand new swan concertina, and I am loving it for the most part, only I've been noticing that the 2a button makes a crackling sound on the pull. I don't really have any knowledge on instrument repair, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what might be causing this?

It is always difficult to make a remote diagnosis.

Did you have a look inside?
The first thing that comes to my mind is to check the valve. But it could be a million other things as well.

I do not like myself to diagnose by description; but having once many years ago ( back in 1999) a new concertina( Hohner brand) It had issues when new for a while, and with patience, over time and with use the issues gradually reduced; I know yours is a different make altogether; Maybe,, however, with it being new, it likewise needs using and will soon adapt to your own touch over time? And crackling effect you detect hopefully loosen up?

I hope it does for you.
